I hate day one of the "day I change all of my bad habits to shed some pounds"...otherwise known as dieting. It's just food, and laziness that you have to give up but it's so much more than that. It's like an alcoholic taking her last drink, or a junkie shooting up for the last time. I myself have never had a drink or taken drugs...but I have seen that show, Intervention on A&E, and I always think that they look so tortured knowing that they are giving up their addiction. They are losing the one thing in their life that gives them comfort, the one thing that they can control...even though they have totally lost the control they maybe once had with their addiction. I always feel sad on Day one. I have had lots of day one's and they are always the same...but at least on Day one I am excited for the possibilities. It's day 2-21 that really suck, because then you know that if you really are going to do this then you can no longer go to your favorite restaurant look over the menu and order the one thing that you REALLY want. You have to plan ahead, going to the restaurants website, look up nutritional information, and know what you will eat before you are ever sat at your table, before you ever look at the menu. You can never go to a party and eat socially, you can never just stop by Papa Murphy's and pick up a pizza. But what's worse? Having to plan your meals ahead and moving your body and losing pounds....or eating whatever you want, feeling your pants getting tighter and tighter, knowing that you are making your body more and more unhealthy with every McDonalds Big Mac and scoop of ice cream that you shove in your mouth. So today is my DAY ONE, and as with everytime I hope it's my last!!
I will post different recipes, hopefully some inspiration to someone out there, and I will post my weight (yikes!!)
