Why does food have to be so delicious? I mean really, I am trying to lose weight, but it is so tough when I bake things or make a meal at home, and I eat a bowl or serving of it, and then I feel like I have to clean my plate.
And my mom taught me to clean my plate, so I feel like I am being wasteful if I don't. And then sometimes, well, okay, let's be honest, LOTS of times I just don't WANT to stop after one serving. I mean, I made chili the other day and had two bowls and really wanted to keep going on a third bowl, and it was extremely difficult to stop myself!
The donuts. Oh boy. Fun job, but I don't think it's helping my diet at all, even though I really don't have time to eat much while I am working. I am hungry, the donuts are there, and I can eat a few for free while I am working and why pay for a breakfast or eat something at home that I have paid for when I can do that? I am so cheap and frugal that I reason that way, but yet I know it's not good for my body weight to eat a ham and cheese kolache and two donuts for breakfast, and then go home and have another donut at home for my lunch.
Also, I haven't been cooking as many home made meals lately and I know that isn't good for us either. I wish I could like yogurt, because that would be healthier for me to take and eat but I just can't force it down. I tell myself I like it and buy some and then I can't choke more than one cup of yogurt down. Ugh.
If I was limited to disgusting food or rice cakes, maybe I would do better. I try not to buy a bunch of junk food for the house, but it seems like it is there anyway. Or it is hard for me to limit myself to something healthy or a smaller serving when I feel my stomach growling.
If I could get myself into a better workout routine maybe it wouldn't be so bad, but I can't seem to do that. I mean, the dog needs to be walked right now, but what I really want to do is run, and I can't do that with the puppy right now because he is not suppose to run until he is older, plus he can't run for long now anyway.
Excuses, that's all these are. I just need to buckle down, realizing I am NOT 21 anymore and able to eat whatever I want and not exercise and remain a size 4. HA! A size 4? I haven't seen that since I was a freshman in college! Right now I would settle for getting some flab off in a couple of places!

You don't need to be a size four. You are beautiful. Hey, you can do it, just focus a LITTLE bit at a time! Maybe focus on one thing each week. Like, this week, make it a goal to cook homemade food 4 out of the 5 nights. That's it. Don't worry about the donuts, the junk food or anything else! Then, next week, keep the 4 out of the 5 nights and also aim to cut out the lunchtime donut or one morning donut! :) You can totally do it...and you don't need to go overboard. I think you still look great.
Doesn't it stink to not have the 21 year old metabolism anymore? Of course, I don't think I ever had it!
Yeah, I don't care about being a size 4, I just want to stay comfortable where I am and perhaps lose about 15 pounds. That still wouldn't be close to a size 4!!! And I can only cook a few nights of the week, but just making sure that I cook at least 2 or 3 nights has been hard the past month or so.
