food for thought

This was posted on FaceBook ... made me giggle....

"I figured out why I'm fat! The shampoo I use in the shower
that runs down my body says 'for extra volume and body'.
I'm going to start using 'Dawn' dish soap. It says, 'dissolves
fat that is otherwise difficult to remove'."

Why is it so easy to put on weight and so HARD to take it off? For me I can not blame my shampoo ... I blame my emotions. It took me thirty something years to realize that and each day I am at war with my mind, my body, my weight.

From the minute I pick up the bag of cookies, the chocolate candy bar, or whatever else is calorie packed I know I should be making a more healthy choice. I know the consequence. And yet I do not stop myself. When I am sad. When I am lonely. When I am stressed. I eat. The most ironic part is it never makes me feel better.

Why am I telling you this? To make myself accountable. I have to lose 15 pounds. I have to find other ways to deal with my emotions ... I have to have help. So if I know you are reading this... and waiting for an update on my progress ... then I'll have to do better.... right?
