Diet Schmiet

Well, those of you who know me, probably know that I need to be about 40 lbs. lighter. When did I get so big? And please, nobody needs to say "you are not that big", because I am. I know how I got here, Sarah and Ethan, and I would not trade them for 100 lbs. But...I am done with the baby making part of my life, and it is time to get down to the business of losing weight. Easier said than done...

For me, becoming a mother, automatically moved me and anything pertaining to me in the not important file. That is why I can go six months without a haircut, or never seem to get myself to the doctor when I am sick, etc, etc. Healthy eating requires a lot of forethought. You have to plan each meal and shopping trip accordingly. This is just too much thought focused on me. I am not used to thinking of myself, I haven't done so in seven years. But not anymore...

Deb (bff) and myself joined Weight Watchers last night. This is not a plug for WW, but of all of the diets (or lifestyles, they like to call it), this one is the most flexible, and probably the easiest to stick to. How I love those extra 35 weekly points!

Truthfully though, don't we feel better about ourselves when we are eating right? I feel like I have accomplished something big just by eating a healthy breakfast. Exercise is a lost cause. I DON'T have time for it, and that is not an excuse. It is physically impossible for me to fit one more thing in my day, so healthy eating will have to do the trick. I know that it will probably take longer, but I am committed to doing this. So...if you see me with a snickers, I give you full permission to shame me into oblivion!
