I hate diets.

I hate diets and diet food and low fat stuff and exercising because I have to. I hate it. I just do. I have to be honest about this, because I know its a limitation for me.



I do want to be healthy, and I know I need to change my habits and my activities so that I can become a healthier person and a better example to my girls. I want to have energy and feel confident. I want to live long and prosper... oops wrong movie. Still - i want to. I do want all of those things.

I just have to stay strong and organized and focused on TODAY instead of the "omg I haven't had a hamburger in forever and because of this stupid DIET (yes the D word), I will never ever ever have red meat again and then I will die!!!!" See... that's what happens. I get a bit melodramatic.

I'm not going to be one of those people who is all "I totally worked out today and had the bestest time ever and can't wait to get moving and get sweaty again! I have the most energy EVER and look at me I'm so shiny and happy and can do this effortlessly!" Yeah... that won't be me.

I'll be the one huddled in the corner with the unopened can of Coke, rocking back and forth calling it "my Precious."

So... bear with me as I go on this journey and start a new process. I'm not going to be the shining star perfect example. But I'm going to try.... promise.
