Being Selfish

Sunday, August 12, 2012

I need to be more selfish. I need to think about keeping my body healthy. I need to selfishly give away the pound cake instead of giving in to pressure to take it home. I need to selfishly say no to the food that I crave but is not good for me and say yes to the food that will be the best for me. I need to put my exercise needs first instead of trying to fit it in around every one else'e schedule.

    I could never have pound cake by myself and expect to not eat it. My cousin gave me a box of chocolate for Christmas. I had three and destroyed the rest. I don't think I had a gift from him in years so I accepted it graciously but I did not honestly know what to do with it. The year before I actually had binged on a box of chocolate that I was going to share with others. That was what I thought but I need to know what I can live with and what I can't. I try not to have anything overly tempting here otherwise I am doomed.

If no thank you doesn't work don't hesitate to throw it out. Those foods can sneak back if not careful. I have said for a long time that I could have treats out of the house but not in the house. But, to tell the truth, I have had to cut back on that as well as it is habit forming. And, you know, it just isn't satisfying like it used to be. What used to be a comfort food is now an undermining force. Then, I feel guilty and justly so as it is my health on the line.

Healthy foods become more appetizing over time in a very wonderful way. I am constantly checking the ingredients and the portion size trying to avoid thing that will only hurt me in the end.

Good luck with both the food and the exercise.
Good for you taking care of your health!
