It is me: Morris (Journal of my journey). For some reason I cannot log in under my old journal, but considering I was so off track I decided to start over. Because that is what I am doing, starting over. I need to get focused and committed to eating better, to eat for health.
This past year has been rough. I gained 15 pounds and I would say I am amazed at how quickly the pounds added up, but not really. I was so stressed that I was buying those bite-sized candy bars, in the Costco sized bag, and they were mine, all mine. I am living proof of "the fat you eat is the fat you wear". Not really the best testimony but it is what it is. If I could turn back time...
Well, I think I reached bottom and scraped myself up quite a bit and have decided it is time to get back with the program. I have been slowly working on my mindset to get back to the right frame of mind and I am almost there 100% percent.
I need to focus on me, myself and I and not worry so much of what others want to eat. We watched 2 of the grandchildren and I made some lentil sloppy joes. The youngest, 6 years old, asked what we were having and I said, "Sloppy Joes." Her reply, "Is it the kind that we won't like?" And I answered, "Probably, because you are at grandma's house." But she ate most of her serving of it.
My why:
To avoid heart disease and diabetes
To get rid of aches and pains
To appreciate food - real food
To drop these extra pounds and get to my ideal weight
To be the best I can be
