Eat what you want.

This is an interesting topic to me. A lot of us are overweight because we eat too much. We eat too much because we're addicted to food.

Usually with addiction you just resolve to never partake in the practise ever again. You vow to never drink another drink or smoke another cigarette. When the demons start rationalising for you you always go back to the single, atomic, prime directive: DO NOT DO THAT, EVER!

With food you can't do that. You can't just 'never eat' because you need to eat to live.

So what you end up having to do is instead of treating all food as the same you have to compartmentalise food into separate categories. These foods I can eat and these foods I can't. These foods are my 'cigarettes' ... never to be eaten!

It's hard, though, because it's easy for those 'bad' foods to creep back in because you're eating anyway. One cookie after dinner is ok ... then it's another cookie while watching TV then it's 3 cookies after dinner because it's within your calorie budget then it's the whole pack because hey, while I'm eating cookies I may as well ... one more isn't that bad.

It's just a slippery slope that for some of us we really need to either avoid the cookie altogether or designate one time a week were we officially allow ourselves that ONE cookie.

I cant eat just one of anything that is bad for me! I must banish all bad foods or I will fail. Just as I did the other night when a friend brought a huge box of doughnuts over. Could I eat just 1???? Hell no!! Had about 4......She is not my friend anymore...haha

So, have a few doughnuts! You have a 13 and a 9 year old. That has to be so stressful. I am sure you are not appreciated as much as you should be. Well you know what, I appreciate you. I think you deserve some doughnuts or what ever else you desire.

This cracks me up. Is it sick of me that I actually find it motivational?

I think everyone is misunderstanding me here. I want you to get what you want out of this, definately! I'm just saying everyone needs to take a chill pill. Or any pill for that matter. Have some wine, do a little dancing, ravage the innocent, go to the mall and have a big pretzel. I just want you all to be happy, it's all I want.

Of course Satan wants you to do what makes you happy and do what you want. That's because he knows you want to eat that cake or big mall pretzel and you think it will make you happy. But don't listen to him, he's just sabotaging your efforts to do the right thing!

What you all actually deserve is the body you want. Everything is fine in moderation, yes, but it comes down to a simple question. The junk food you want right now, or the body you've wanted all your life?
