Food, Glorious Food!

I need to eat less. Well, I at least really need to watch what I eat. I'm realizing I probably consume more calories than I really need. Like, a couple days ago, I decided not to eat lunch because I wasn't hungry. Usually I'll eat lunch anyway cause I think I'll be hungry later. I ended up being just fine!

And today, since I ate so much yesterday, I decided to skip breakfast. I made it to twelve without feeling hunger pains.

So, there you have it. I need to quit putting so much weight on food. (no pun intended.) I mean, I love food. I love cooking and baking and eating. Especially sweets. And I allow myself to eat whatever I want. I used to be pretty self-controlled. I used to never eat pizza, hamburgers, or drink pop. Now... I eat/drink all three of those. It's not like I eat all three of those every day! I just think they are things to stray away from and there are fruits and veggies that would be a much healthier option.

I even look at photos of myself and think, well, I'm not fat, but I have extra "stuff" that doesn't have to be there. And I'm a short, small gal and don't have many places to hide extra stuff.

I envy people who can stop when they are full... or who can say no to a brownie if they're really not feeling like it. I would like to be that person. Today I'm really gonna step forward to healthier eating and less caloric intake. I can do it. I don't need everything I put in my body. My body is God's temple and needs to be taken care of. And someday I really won't be able to eat whatever I want. I better start a healthy lifestyle now before it's too late.
