You know the saying “today is the first day of the rest of your life” or something like that. Well my first day is January 18th because I want to use the groceries we just bought up before I start the new eating habits for the family (Yes they have to eat what I cook and I am cooking better foods form now on!) Plus I have been PMSing and have eaten a half bag of Heresy kisses and a box of Thanks a lot girl scout cookies in the last two days.
My daughter tells me when she don’t want to finisher her dinner that “I need to stop eating now I don’t wan to get fat like you mommy” This is something she has gotten in to saying daily. Last night she told me to stop eating the popcorn because I was already to fat. OK world I am over weight and I could stand to drop 30 pound but when you own child ( who is the skinny thing you once was) Keeps telling you “you are fat”...the time has come to shut her up by getting un-fat! But man it hurts to hear every night at dinner. Motivating?
I have joined Wight Watchers. The only reason is that all the fitness advice I have gotten starts out with keep a food diary. I hate keeping a food diary. I did like the Weight Watcher food tracker application. (For you iphone people it makes it very easy.) Also it keeps me form snacking in the evening. Once you are out of point you are done eating for the day.
I got a bracelet engraves with the words “Be Brave” It take a bit of bravery to change who you’ve been for so long. I know in my heart that there is a brave and productive person inside. 2010 she is coming out Even if I have to yank her out!
