It’s the end of the 4th week today. I had a rough week with this plan. My fault – too much celebrating (which always is tied to food for some reason) and too little turning stuff down. I still show a loss, but it was about a pound less than I wanted to see. It is so easy to gain weight and so hard to lose it. Changing habits is just hard, period. Making new habits takes a lot of time and effort. It is just easy to fall back on what you know instead of working through what doesn’t come naturally.
I used to work with a woman named Nadine. She was gorgeous and thin (and a sweet friend). We would go out for lunch or after work and she would always order salad and water to drink. For whatever reason, I remember being surprised that she ate that way. I mean, she looked like she ate that way but I never thought of thin people having to watch what they ate. Woudn’t we all rather order that big cheesy, goey steaming plate of whatever for dinner? She looked like she could eat whatever she wanted to but she chose the salad and water. I have no point to that story, other than every one I know always orders the cheesy goo, and I need to learn that it is okay to just order the salad. Why is it always about the food – why can it not just be about the company, ya know?
