Now, I know that all of the reasons I listed above do have an effect on body weight and health, but I am a master excuse maker. I am the queen of procrastinators and can talk myself into and out of every action that I ever should take! I don't know how I got this way, but I do have a hunch-I am lazy. LAZY! -at least in this part of my life.
I have made a few pledges to myself. One is to follow through this time and to treat my body with respect. My stomach is not a dumpster-and I should not be shoveling garbage into it all day, every day. The next is to actually do the work to shed the pounds. Unfortunately, at least in my case, this means actually exercising and taking in less than I expend. There go the long nights of snacking on my favorite, beloved snacks such as Hershey's Kisses, Reeses Peanut butter cups and Goldfish crackers. Oh well, GET OVER IT!
This is a new beginning for me. I am taking charge of my health, my weight and my excuses. I will not let them decide for me any more.
