Aahhhhhh

Aahhhh... I finally feel like I have mastered my weight loss plan.  Some people say that I may be "too restrictive", but I say I am teaching myself how to eat and in doing that I have to discipline myself.  I am taking things out of my diet that have gotten me to this point in the first place.  I am sure you have heard people say "just eat in moderation", well let me tell you something, if I could eat in moderation I wouldn't be doing this in the first place!  And I don't exactly agree with that statement "in moderation", I could have 1/2 a pack of Starburst, 1/2 a donut, 1/2 a cheeseburger and small frie for my daily meal choices and even though that would be in moderation it sure as heck wouldn't be healthy.

The truth is I am tired of poisoning my body with harsh chemicals described as "food".  A hundred years ago our ancestors would have thought we all had lost our minds with all the CRAP we are putting in our bodies.  I mean no wonder the average american dies around 65-70, WOW just when you retire and can actually enjoy life your DEAD!  Oh yes some may say I am being "too restrictive" but I say I am being smart, I am being healthy, I am going to live longer than you.  Why?  Because I didn't allow my mind to have free-rein, I didn't allow myself to have a cookie or piece of cake every time I wanted it, because thats just it, I WANTED it , I don't NEED it.  When you finally train yourself to recognize the difference between wanting something and actually needing it, your whole mind-set will begin to change.

I am finally getting use to telling  myself no!  Because in all reality I don't need anything that I am craving.  Now that I have been changing so have my taste buds, I no longer want the things that I use to. It is so amazing how you hate change at first but once you establish it it becomes something you desire.  I am so much more in-tune with what my body actually needs vs. what I want.


I am feeling so great that I actually won't have a problem making my husband a red velvet cake for his birthday tomorrow.  I don't even need a taste.  Why?..because it's not worth it, its not worth the self disappointment that will immediately follow and it sure as heck isn't worth destroying all the progress I have made.  You see once you get to this point, the point of no return, you won't want to do anything else but finish.  Stay strong my fellow succeeders and soon you will be able to live up to that name, SUCCEEDER, remember that every time you want to give up, and then DON'T.  Your already succeeders, now you just have to show yourself you are. Well I am off to bake!  I would say wish me luck, but I won't need it! I bid you all farewell till tomorrow!

Warm Regards,
