The Weekend Workout

Okay, so I am tired of saying to myself I am going to walk every day and not walking any days! I will commit to atleast walking on Saturdays and Sunday's when I am not at work, this is the least thing I can do. I will work on adding more in, but for now 2/7 is better than 0/7. CLM

Can it really be so simple?

I find myself asking the question, "Can it really be so simple?" In my quest to divorce myself from junk food I am finding that I must stick to 3 meals a day with no snacks and no sweets. When I really look at my problem with eating I can see that 85% of my excess eating comes in the from of snacking/ grazing on food/ one long daily binge. This is the problem I need to address if I am to be healthy and happy. I will be focusing on having my 3 meals with no snacks to help from September - January first. Each morning I will focus on simply having my three meals. Also I will reform my fast food habits. By cutting out the extra's especially deserts I believe I can address the other 10% of my excess eating. I will be working on portion sizes as well as healthier choices. I believe I am on the road to recovery and I feel more confident. CLM

Whatever It Takes!

I have to do whatever it takes to get my body back! 1. This whole divorce from junk food has not gotten off to a good start. While I was traveling I ate some pretty wild stuff. I also had to use a seat belt extension on the air-plane. See you can totally get a reality check on your body size without getting on the scale. 2. My goal is to get to my happy weight a size healthier. 3. I will be following a gentile plan to get me back on track from Sept 18- Jan 1, 2013. I mostly just need something to help me focus. My plan will involve Breakfast- cereal with almond milk Lunch/ Dinner- veggie burger, yogurt and fruit-cup optional salad with fresh veggies! Drink- water, tea and low-cal drinks Chew- sugar-free gum 30 minutes walk every morning! No snacks, no sweets and no junk food. When I am done with this phase I will slowly add in beans and rice, pasta with grillers, soups and other cooked veggies and as well as a vitamin regimen. CLM

Chocolate Threat Neutralized!

I have chucked that Chocolate in a large communal trash been at work! I plan to clean my house of junk from top to bottom when I get home. I am serious about this divorce! CLM

A Chocolate Bomb!

Ha Ha Ha.... Right after my post about divorcing junk food for good a package of Swiss White Chocolate bars was delivered to me. I am getting rid of this chocolate quick fast and in a hurry. I will not use this as a way to go back on my word to myself. I admit honestly that I had a few bites of one bar, but that will not stop me from discarding the rest of the bars. This is what the next six months is about, totally re-programming my mine. I have to understand that every gift isn't truly a gift, in a sense that it is a blessing to your life. That chocolate is the equivalent to a case of wine being dropped off on an alcoholic's door step on the first day of their recovery. I may have shared a quick kiss with my old husband junk food, but I will not allow this to become an affair and I am definitely not getting back with him again!!!!!!!!!!! I am going through with this divorce!!!!!!! CLM

Getting a Divorce from Junk Food!

Getting a Divorce from Junk Food! Oh I tried delayed gratification, moderation and all that eat what you want, stop when you get full stuff and it just did not work for me. It is time to face the music, after 3 going on 4 years of trying to get this weight-off, the one thing I have not done is totally and completely give up the Junk. I have been a junk food junkie. Well no more! I know what junk I need to divorce (chips, crackers, candy, sweets, ice cream, fried foods etc) I don't need to give these things up for a short time I need to give these up for good, which is different than a diet. I need to get off this roller-coaster and never look back! Today is the day I am kissing the junk good bye for good. I don't care how much weight I lose, I am not looking for a specific number, but I am looking to be free of this junk food addiction for good! I will put my all into getting free. My history has shown that I can practice restraint. I don't drink, smoke or do drugs. I waited until I got married to have sex, I gave up meat for over 10 years and I am going to kick these poor eating habits to the curb too! I know what works for me and that is total elimination. It will be hard, I am giving myself six months to kick all these habits cold turkey! I know I will come out better because of it, having closed the doors to diabetes, breast cancer and other illness.
