That dreaded "D" word...... diet

So I was watching Oprah the other day and she had special guest Geneen Roth on there talking about her new book which explains why we are overweight. Her main reason being that we subconsciously use food to block out our emotions because we don't want to deal with what we have going on in life. Well, I disagree. That's not my problem. There's no stress in my life, therefore I have nothing to block out. But one things she did say was true. We eat when we're bored or want to be social but can't. I recognize that in my own life. I'm not eating because I'm hungry, I'm eating because I'm bored and lonely. Go figure.

So I had a goal to lose 7 pounds by graduation, which was May 8. I started that goal about a month prior. I went out and bought a Wii Fit Plus and was gung ho about it. My May 8th result. I more or less weigh the same. I stopped working out at the end of april when crisis hit my love life. But that shouldn't be an excuse right? Right.

So, I've followed a friend of mine's blog and her goal for this summer is to lose weight. I feel motivated to truly start mine too. If my mom can find time to walk 3 miles every other day, then by golly I can get up on the Wii Fit and work out for 30 minutes. Besides, I'm tired of my "fat baby" as I call it, getting more and more comfortable, I'm ready to have my abs back. I'm ready to have my toned thighs and butt again. I'm ready to have my freshman year college body back.

So, from this day forward, I will control my portions, I will not eat when I'm hungry or lonely, I will exercise and stop being so lazy, and I will, by the end of the dang summer, have a rockin body that I'm comfortable in. I'm tired of looking in the mirror and saying, "I don't like...." or "I wish my _____ looked better....." It's time to turn those wishes into reality.

Who's with me?
