A New Start
I picked up some healthy things that I can put in my desk at work, so when I'm tempted by a twinkie or bag of M&M's It will be easier to say no.I think we should eat to live and not just to make our taste buds happy or to mask our feelings and especially not just out of habit. I have fed my body a lot of stuff that I know was of no use to it at all.

It's so hard to do this consistently isn't it? I try to think of my body like a machine and to treat it as such. It also helps to remember that my mom has had open heart surgery and my genes are flawed. I have to eat well and live well.
It helps me to remember that my Mom has had strokes and has a pacemaker, so I'm with you on that.
My Mom is still able to get around and she has my Dad, but I'm single and for the most part I have to take care of myself.
My friend suggested that I post my scale cartoon on my refrigerator and I'm thinking of putting it up on my cube at work.
Sorry about your mom. It makes it extra hard when we have it in our genes. I think that putting the cartoon up on your fridge is a good idea...some people even put mirrors on their fridges! My mantra is, "Nothing tastes as good as thin feels". Now if I could only get rid of my peanut butter addiction.
I did have one diet coke today, but did good other than that. I don't even like diet cokes, but I wouldn't let myself have a non diet one. It should not be too hard to give up something I don't even like. - I do like diet Dr. Pepper though.
It's good to have the healthy snacks within reach--helps with the temptation! Nuts and fresh fruits I've found to be a good mid-day snack!
My cube neighbor keeps coming over and eating nuts ;-) I guess I need to get a bigger bag. I do need to get some fresh fruit to take to work.
I had power bars, but just ran out. I don't know if I will replace them, they are too much like candy.
