Dang. I need to write it. I need to be transparent.
I started this blog as a way to keep myself accountable to the weight loss. It has veered off somewhat into a general whatever-the-heck is going on in my life or I am thinking, I write about it. But each and every day, I think about the weight loss.
I have learned through my weight loss journey that I have so little self control.
"For this very reason, make every effort to add to your faith goodness; and to goodness, knowledge; and to knowledge, self-control; and to self-control, perseverance; and to perseverance, godliness; and to godliness, brotherly kindness; and to brotherly kindness, love." 1 Peter 1:6-7
The diet part of this journey is horrible for me. I love food. Deep fried, fast food, dessert.... yummmm. Portion control, calorie counting, avoiding fatty foods - not my forte. But I have decided to make it a priority. I have to learn self control, or this is all a large waste of my time.
So this morning, I had cheerios and a banana for breakfast, and a Subway chicken sandwich for lunch. I am thinking a big salad for dinner with maybe a veggie soup? There has to be a way for me to continue with this. There has to be a way to get some self control.
I guess I just have to keep in mind that the pain, effort, sacrifices I make now all lead to the bigger picture, what I truly want. I want the weight loss more than a french fry. I need to remember that.
