Dear Self

Seriously, how did you let this happen again?! Somehow I seem to think I'm not going to gain weight because I exercise so much. Ummm, not so at all!! Guess what, if you eat more calories than you burn off you gain weight. Easy as that. Well no more. I'm tired of seeing the scales say a weigh I've said time and time again I'd never weigh again. But it's more than what the scales say... I'm tired of clothes that should fit not fitting. I'm tired of feeling bloated, sluggish and out of breath. I think I'm even getting a double chin!! I've tried to eat in moderation this year but it's just not working. Maybe it works for some people but not me. I have all these extra pounds to lose now. And on top of that I have a bridal luncheon tomorrow, a picnic and a wedding on Saturday. AHHHHHHHHHH!!! It's never ending. I seem to constantly be bombarded by unhealthy foods and trust me, my weight is reflecting that. It's hard saying no when people, even more so when it's a special occasion. But it looks like I'm going to have to start saying NO!! And I'm going to have to start counting calories. __________ Life begins each morning....
