Well it has been a week since I blogged, two days since I tracked my food and 4 days since I worked out.. changing behavior is not an easy task and staying focused is even harder... I have been slipping and sliding for a week.. weekends are the hardest for me... during the week I have a schedule and plan out what to eat and do fairly well then the weekend comes and I am either out and about with my teenagers and we eat fast food or I am home doing laundry etc... and I end up eating.. suggestions...

Ok so slipping into old behavior... went into a fast food drive thru this AM without even thinking.. was 1/2 way thru the breakfast when it hit me what I was doing...Struggling with cravings still... this entire experience is amazing.. I did not even come close to realizing the control that food has over my life... another amazing thing is the types of food I chose.. (even when I think I am being good) is high in fat I average about 50% calories from fat... it is SOOO had to break...I just keep ...

Ok so today was my daughter's 17th birthday.. and I am proud of myself.. I planned ahead.. knowing that I would want birthday mud pie.. so made sure I got to the gym, ate healthy and then had 1/2 a piece of the mud pie instead of a piece and a 1/2 which is my usual common practice.. it is another day in the life of this new way of thinking about food. My relationship with food is soo dysfunctional if food was my husband I would have divorced it YEARS ago. Changing this relationship and how I rel...

OK so.. I do not like this Diet Tracker.. I want to lie to it.. like it matters. I had a terrible food day yesterday and I so did not want to be truthful on the dang thing... it is so funny. Who cares? who looks at it? only me? I want to lie to myself about what I but in my mouth by not including it in the diet tracker like that will make it non-existent so those calories don't count. I feel like a catholic girl standing outside the confessional waiting to be scolded by the priest and I am not ...

Ok so yesterday I started tracking calories.. I am sooo tired of trying to control what I put in my mouth and then beating myself up for eating crap..

I have to start somewhere and every time I "slip" I quit.. and I am tired of slipping and quiting so I am working on changing my thinking.. and...

Since I started exercising my cravings for carbs and junk has increased by leaps and bounds.. it is like my body is fighting to keep...
