RIP Salt

Due to the fact that my father got me a Wii and Wii fit for xmas, I am now unable to complain about all the weight I have to lose. I have to do it. No excuses, no waiting until this happens or that happens. I will not give up anything I like though. I just will cut down severely on those things. I love food. I love to cook. I love to eat the food that I cook. I like my food to have flavor and I like to eat seconds if the food is really good. I realize that a lot of what I eat is not healthy but I don't care. I take pleasure in salty steaks and buttered popcorn. Don't even try the psycho-babble stuff with me. I know why I eat. I am a bored, stay-at-home mom who sometimes stares at the fridge for no reason.

So now I have the wii fit and it will not sit there gathering dust. I refuse to go into the summer at this weight. I wont tell you my weight, but I will tell you this. When you step on the wii fit, and your avatar puffs up right in front of your eyes, you know you need to do something.

So, like I said, I am not giving up the foods I like. I will however, give up seconds. I will give up heaping bowls of ice cream, 10 shakes of salt, 5 cups of coffee, and 3 cans of a soda. I will drink more water, and take in less caffeine. I will not eat tons of cheese, I will not eat bacon every Saturday. I do enjoy lots of healthy, low calorie foods, so I will eat more of those.

This won't be easy and it will not be a quick fix. There will be days that I fall off of the fat wagon. But, I have a closet full of jeans and nice summer clothes that I refuse to throw away. I will wear them again. I will only throw them away when they are too big for me.
