Yesterday I talked about how I've started to work out, which is an important piece to losing weight. I dont think I will have as much of a problem with that as I will with today's post, food! I LOVE LOVE LOVE food (obviously, looking at me would be a dead give away)! I like eating, what can I say? I realize now though, that I can't eat what I want, when I want, for however long I want. I couldn't do it in my teens, why the hell did I think I could do it now?!?!?!
Changing my eating habits is going to be as big a task for me as any I've ever done. To be honest, it's going to be a life changing event for me. Just like getting married, or having kids. I had adjust to life when I got married and had kids. Now, I must adjust to life, knowing that McDoubles and hot wings (just to name a few!) are things that I shouldn't have, and quite frankly, do not need. The faster I get that engrained in my head, the easier this whole process is going to be.
I think one of the coolest things going for not just me, but for my company I work for is that we're starting a wellness/weight loss 'shakedown'. I really like the idea of trying to get healthy and lose weight, but now, my co-workers are getting into the spirit as well. It's kind of hard to be motivated to eat right when you have your grilled chicken salad, while your boss has Hog Wild, or a greasy burger from Moo-Ya (which is delicious, BTW..) We'll be able to hold each other accountable for at least one meal, plus I work with a lot of competitive people, so everyone is going to want to win!
I know I said this yesterday, but I feel like I could write for days! Who knows, maybe this is just the thing that someone needs to get motivated themselves. If it means helping someone while trying to help myself, why not, right? My next entry is probably going to be the most personal, I'm going to talk about my delicious journey to where I am now, why I want to lose weight and get healthy, and what I hope to get out of this. Again, feel free to leave comments, advice, criticism. Whatever you'd like. I'd like to get feedback from people. I'm dioing this in part, to hold myself accountable. I've always loved writing. And hey, even if I'm not the best at it, I still got you to read up to this point, right? lol, Holler!
