Just read this in the Just 10 Lbs book and it really opened my eyes. Our health doesn't just belong to us. It belongs to our families also. If I were to suffer a debilitating illness it would be my family that would have to take care of me thus changing their live's forever. I would think of the stress, worry, anxiety etc. that it would put them through. If I love those who love me I will honor my body and not engage in "health" destructive behaviors. I will make healthy choices every day to honor my body, myself and my family who I love and cherish dearly!!!
Going out for my walk now!!!

"Super Size Me"

Just finished watching "Super Size Me". It's a must see movie/documetary for all of us weight conscience people. And if you aren't weight conscience this will certainly nudge you in that direction.  I know it is an old movie but it was the first time I got to see it.  If you haven't seen it... check it out!  It sure helped to confirm my ideas about how bad fast food can be!!!  It's really bad!!!!!  Deadly!!!

When you ask them to "super size me"....that's exactly what you are doing!!!  These places don't care how unhealthy the food is, it's all about the almighty buck!   We people need to stop buying into their greed!!!  There has got to be better choices out there....find it!!

No weigh in this week

I've decided I'm gonna wait till next week to weigh in.  I missed it this week on Tuesday due to the weather but being a lifetime member at Weight Watchers I don't really have to weigh in every week.  I like to because it keeps me on my toes and the meeting gives me that burst of motivation to get through the week.  This week I feel like I'm really motivated and have been on plan all week.  So I'm gonna wait for Tuesday.  I just gotta get through the weekend.  On that note I have to tell myself that it's not OK to eat unplanned food of any kind.  I'm just fooling myself if I think otherwise.  Every BLT (Bite, Lick or Taste) as we call it in W/W has to be accounted for. "if you bite it you write it...if you drink it you ink it"  another W/W saying.  LOL
     Whenever I plan my meals and write down everthing I've eaten everyday I have been very successful at weight loss.  It is an essential tool to get me to my goal. 
   Today I commit to planning my meals, keeping track of every point and sticking to that plan especially on the weekends!!

Food is a fuel for our body.. PERIOD!!

My Dr. told me this years ago:  We all must stop thinking of food as a comfort or pleasure.  Food is a fuel for our body that keeps us full of energy and health PERIOD!!.  We must make healthy choices that will keep our bodies strong and full of vitality. We must not waste our daily intake of "fuel" on useless calories that have no nutritional value and can "gunk up our engine" LOL
We can find pleasure and comfort in other activities.  
I like:  crafting, reading, gardening, biking, long walks, camping, bowling, blogging and spending quality time with my family and friends.  The possibilties are endless and don't have to include food!

What are some activities that you can turn to when you are not hungry but the food is calling?
