Truths I've discovered

I've been doing this for two weeks, and have come face to face with some truths about myself:
I really just cannot eat gluten.
Gluten free does not mean calorie free.
GF Pizza, along with bagels and lox, are huge calorie bombs.
I have to exercise every day, whether I want to or not.
I do not want to exercise every day.
I wish I gained weight in my butt instead of my abdomen, so I wouldn't have to see my abdominal pudge in the mirror every day.
I can't have more than 2 alcoholic drinks. More, and I get trashed, in addition to packing on the empty calories.
I can't eat a late dinner unless I want the scale to reflect it the next morning.

This is SO true for me! Someone asked me when I was due. I'm not pregnant, just fat- and only in the front
My truths:
I love going to the gym
Macaroni and cheese is my supreme weakness
I don't miss cookies that much
I hate doing ab workouts, even though I need them the most
I miss beer more than I miss cookies
I look forward to eating vegetables (most of the time)0 -
That time is short
That procrastinating just wastes that time
That I do have will power and self control
That complete strangers are prepared to support me0 -
I can't survive in a low carb diet.. I tried so many times but I alwyas binge in the end of the day lol0

I think lean meats, fruit, vegtables, nuts and seeds are gluten free. Have you tried those?0

I hate my little lower belly!
I love potatoes and Mac n cheese!
I haven't had chips for a long time and that's amazing for me!
I use to work out but it's to hot to do that right now!
I wish my lower belly would go to my butt and just little in my chest!
I been having more energy but don't know what to do!
So far I like this site!
I miss drinking my diet coke with spiced rum!0 -
I've learned that I seek comfort foods (sweets, sodas, chips, etc.) when I am stressed or sad.
I feel better about myself when I exercise and eat healthy.
I am worth it!
I sometimes eat out of pure boredom and not because I am hungry.
I am stronger than I give myself credit for.
Food doesn't heal internal wounds.0 -
My whole body will thin out before my arms do.
Zumba is toning my waist an incredible amount.
My hips are probably always going to be super wide. (That's alright, I can work with it.)0 -
ME ME ME my turn!
The truth is I have learned that maybe I could be allergic to gluten because of my eczema.
truth is I love working out specifically because of the sweat & the high I get afterwards
truth is that I learn so much about myself by talking to other people or listening to them.
and truth is that this site has truly saved me.0 -
I can relate to some of yours!!
Mine are:
I feel so much better both mentally and physically when I eat healthy and exercise
Life is more positive when I make good decisions
I can find other ways to deal with stress other than with food (still working on this)
I am beautiful inside and deserve good things and people in my life (still working on this)
I enjoy being outside in nature and love to exercise and need to workout even when I am not motivated
That if I keep this healthy life up that in a year I can start participating in life again!!!!!!!0
