This saying " Nothing tastes as good as thin feels", is something I have heard quite a few times.. I've heard it mainly back when I went to Weight Watchers meetings. I now keep it in the back of my head to remind me when I want that extra piece of candy or suddenly get a craving for MC Donald's. It does seem to help me when I've had one of those days. You dieters know what I'm talking about.. you know when all you crave is a huge ice cream sundae, blow through a whole bag of chips, and then want to polish off with a nice meal of steak and potatos? I am a lover of food I can't help it. It's there when I'm happy, it's there when I'm mad, sad, bored, It goes it with me, wakes up with me , It CELEBRATES with me! I can't get rid of it! AHHHH!! You see who is in control here? FOOD! Time to change that..
About 2 months ago, I decided I wanted to be in control. I wanted to gain control of me! I had let myself get up to about 220 pounds (give or take a few.) That is 20 more pounds than what I weighed when I was pregnant full term with twins! I was pretty unhappy with myself. Fat, flabby, floppy and frumpy.. I want to be fit, fantastic, fancy, and fabulous!
