Back to Good

glowney

That's where I'm going...back to good! First day at this and I like it. I have read stories and researched today and my dieting today was impressive if I must say so myself! These are things I'm sure everyone post here huh? Well maybe I will attempt a different approach since I am on the track of changing things in my life. I start by say this..... Unlike alot of people I havent tried this and that and I havent put a whole helluva lot of effort into changing me. I'm fairly comfortable in my life, well I was until evertime I went in my closet I got pissed off and that stupid "girl" keeps showing up on the cover of every magazine that lands in my mailbox! You know her the pretty one that has airbrushed abs and is the definition of "damn near perfect". Yea, occasionally i toss her into the trash can not because she is what she is but because I am not what she is. So here I am, magazineless and ready for a change. I want that outfit on display, I want to be the girl that didnt cheat with diet pills, etc, I want to be looked at when I walk in the room! Pretty shallow huh? I didnt list any other reasons other than my very own shelfish ones. Truth be told I do have high blood pressure and a 5k to me is a check amout! My blissful ignorance to the obvious is what landed me here. I am selfish and if I want it I believe I should have and it and well that indeed was the case with every single thing that went into my mouth! At some point we all find our places and we realize we can't always get want we want. (nice now I'm humming the song from The Big Chill) Therefore we are forced to make decisions, all out of pure greed of course my decisions was to keep eating what I wanted or look like I wanted. Its a win win..... nah it isnt really because with every decision comes a consequence. Honestly I prefer my consequences to be beneficial so I went with the latter of my choices and decided to lose the 40 lbs that came without invitation! I hope to accomplish my goal and make it as painless as possible. Anyway, its nice to be here on MFP and with any luck all of us will get what we want! xoxo
