Yeah I could stop eating carbs and take sugar out of my diet. I could drink nothing but water and do stomach crunches until my head burst but I'd rather be happy.
I like having some chocolate after a long day and drinking a diet coke. I like to get my workout over with in the morning and then spend the rest of my day chasing my daughter around. Yeah that also means I won't be looking like Heidi Klum any time soon.
But I'm ok with that. As long as I feel healthy and I'm HAPPY!
And I know a world without chocolate, carbs and a soda every now and then is not one I would want to live in. So I'm willing to settle with this...
I'm not there yet but I'm working on it. :)
GO ELAINE GO! Your kickin butt Momma, wish I had your dedication... And I couldn't ever give up chocolate or carbs either... (or COCOS! LOL) You should be proud of yourself for going to the gym everyday! That's AWESOME!
ReplyDeleteI feel the same way! No Diets for me either.
ReplyDeleteElaine, I gave up soda completely about 9 years ago and I gave up chocolate candy right after Christmas of 2007. It was very hard at first but it became somewhat easier over time. I did it mostly becuase I didn't like the "control" I felt it had over me. About a month ago I had read a report that dark chocolate (my favorite) is actually good for your heart. I had my first piece of chocolate after a year and a half and it was amazing! Long live chocolate!!! See, so having chocolate is making you healthier!!!
