Good Evening!

I hope today finds you all well! I know it has been a crazy weekend and a crazy few days.  This past weekend was spent with some great friends and we just had a blast hanging out and of course you guessed it "food" was the hot topic for us! We had a good time just eating carb after carb! Oh yeah you say!!!! Why did you do that and then you ask how did I feel? Well let me just tell you; eating the food was a great experience  with my taste buds but the after affect was not so good for my mind, body and just in general! Why you ask did I then partake in eating food that was not conducive for my health and well being?  That is the million dollar question?!

SO with the million dollar question; we must ask ourselves why we do what we do? Why do we say it is OK to eat this carb just this once and then feel bad after we have consumed the food? Why do we say well today is my "cheat" day when in fact everyday is a "cheat" day. Yes I know you are all saying "what" we do not have a cheat day everyday. I know you do!!! Let me eat this candy bar and then start over tomorrow, or let me eat this piece of bread, or ice cream, or the big one "chocolate" candy. Honestly can you say you do not do this?  When you are having a stressful day what is the one thing you turn to for comfort....."yes you are right on with your answer FOOD"!!  We all have this in our genetic make-up some of us are stronger than others, you know I am right!

NOW we must ask ourselves was the food intake worth the after affects of how we felt or feel a few days after? I have to "say that would be a big NO"! So then why do we do what we do? I cannot answer that question for you I can only the answer the question for myself, but will I like the answer I have, probably not! SO then why do I constantly battle with myself when I know the outcome and the after affects of eating incorrectly.

My question to you is how do you feel when you have done something with a "Statement only this one time"? The only answer is the truthful answer to yourself. You only have to be truthful to you and to no one else and on the flip side the "higher power" will always know what you are doing and what you are promising to lose this one pound or more! I know from this past week and month, what I must do achieve the ultimate goal I have set for myself.  Only you know what you are striving for and you are the only one that can obtain this goal and be true to you!

God Speed!
