Seriously?

I call that a diet? As I was sitting down to breakfast,  I  reread my previous post and was in shock.  I wrote it on Thursday and just got around to posting it today.  Yes, i took responsibility for the wrong choices last week... but dang, how many times can you flub up and still think you are heading in the right direction?  Once, maybe twice, I think is ok.. but a whole week worth?  It's time to refocus on what I really want.  Do I want to be able to just say "Im on a diet" or do I want to be able to "show" people that I am...

This morning, I go searching for breakfast... what do i get? a little chocolate creme filled cupcake and a glass of milk.  Talk about and excited fat girl, it was the last one!  I started to head back to the computer and realized what I had just done.  I turned back around, put the cup cake up, and poured a bowl of Total Whole Greain cereal and tossed in some fresh blueberries.

That's what I need to do more often.  Stop and ask myself if I am making a good choice, is this going to put me in the right direction?  Is this going to help me reach my goals?  And I hope I make the right choices from now on!

After feeling better about the cereal choice, I decided to post what I just saved my body in calories and nutrition compared to the cupcake.  Ladies and Gentleman... it's time for: THIS OR THAT!

  3. I hear you! I know exactly how you feel about making the wrong choice constantly. I struggle all of the time. I think we just need to keep reminding ourselves of why we're in the position we're in... and how much we hate being here. I know I do!

    You'll do great! :) Keep working hard! :)
