...but will there be food?

"Sometimes I love cake more than I love being fit."                                                        - Me  ..every time I see cake. I love food. Like, I seriously love food. I'm the kind of person that will sit and think about what I'm eating for lunch and dinner that day while I'm eating my breakfast.. or my pre-breakfast snack that I have while my breakfast is cooking. Don't judge me. You do it, too. The problem isn't that I love food. The problem is that I let my love of food hinder the self-respect I have for my own body. We all get one body; just one. While some issues can't be helped a lot of our aches and pains are from our own doing. MYSELF INCLUDED! Does eating Taco Casa make me wake up with indigestion all night and force me to eat a small mountain of Rolaids the following day? YES! Does that stop me from eating it? HECK NO! It tastes good! It makes me feel  good; but really it doesn't. Taking care of our bodies go

Don't eat the cake.

"Somewhere between the desire to have a six pack of abs and the need for a six pack of cupcakes I find myself in a constant struggle of being motivated and being a bum." - Me. We've all been there at some point or another. It's Sunday evening, I'm standing in front of the refrigerator at 10:33 at night looking for one last snack. "We're starting our diet tomorrow. I'm just making sure there isn't anything in here I want to eat before it starts!" At least that's the excuse I tell my husband so I don't feel so bad about finishing off my half eaten tub of Ben & Jerry's ice cream. "I'm going to get all the cravings taken care of and start fresh in the morning." The only catch is, when morning comes I completely skip breakfast, drink two cups of coffee for lunch, and then eat five tacos for dinner. Motivation and discipline are the key to any goal.
