guess what I did today...


that's right people...I went to the gym.  
oh, and I did not hate it.
yay for mini victories.

nothing tastes as good as skinny feels.

I've heard people say that time and time again.  I never truly "got it" though.  I think I am finally getting it.

I had kind of an "aha" moment over the weeked.  There is no food in the world that is worth being fat.  Plain and simple.  It's not worth the countless hours it takes for me to find a dress for an event (that would only take a skinny girl an hour.) It's not worth the self doubt & feeling gigantic in every situation.  It's not worth looking at yourself in photos are realizing you are way bigger than you thought.  It's just not.

Today, I've been eating rather normally.  Not normal for me...but for the average, healthy weight person.  Am I hungry?  A little.  Am I on a diet? No.  (Remember diet is out....it's about making permanent changes.) Is my body telling me to feed it?  YES &  I am telling it to shut the f up.  (Sorry for the "f"...just be glad I did not type it out...but this is tough love people!)  I am not going to allow that little hungry voice control me anymore.

Oh, and I am contemplating working out today.  Crazy, I know.  I'll let you know if it happens.

Lesson of the day: My grande (non fat) white mocha (that I had this morning) has 400 calories. Bonus yuck - - I usually order a venti.  Oh, my so-not-worth it.  I need to find something else to love at starbucks.
