Today is saturday and I know I need to watch what I do. Weekends are harder for me. Ususally we see 1 movie a weekend and I always get a medium popcorn with butter which is a bad choice. Instead I will chew on some sunflower seeds. Yesterday was good. For lunch I had my salad w/turkey and cheese with italian dressing and for dinner I had a chicken and shrimp stir-fry and did'nt even clean my plate- suprised me. I walked one hour on the
treadmill and 40 minutes with the wife and the hound (actually boxer). So all is going well one day at a time.
Thought for the day: What caused me to gain all this weight?
The first thing is to directly place the blame where it belongs- MYSELF! The choices I made caused me to be in this condition. Nobody twisted my arm, I controlled the fork the whole time! I could have/ should have said no but didnt. What we(I) always try to do is displace or distort the truth and blame about our
weight gain. People keep sabotaging me by offfering me food or bringing cake/cookies etc into the house. There was nothing to eat in the house(so I got fast food). Someone offered to treat me out, how could I say no. Its genetic. I was so busy I only had time for fast food. There are many excuses. Personally I just love food. I wasnt depressed or bored or replaceing something in my life, I just loved to eat. I would have fast food 4-7 times a week (popeyes, McD's, skippers, etc) alot of the time corrupting my wife, "there is nothing to cook in the house, just grab a pizza on the way home". When I ate it would be to the excess where I would be way too full, not in moderation at all. Drinking pop didnt help the situation either. Also in addition to not eating healthy, a huge factor in my
weight gain was I quit exercising. The most exercise I got was to walk upstairs at dinner time. So with all that said I accept all the blame. Yes, it was me. They say knowing is half the battle. The wind of change is blowing. With that I look forward to a healthy day.......
