The Unknown

In life there are a lot of complications and so many things to be stressed about. I mostly get stressed about the known. What will happen? When will it happen? How will it happen? We are always questioning the unknowns. I am not the kind of person who does well being alone and when I am left to ponder all of my unknowns alone I go to the one thing that always will comfort me...Food! Whether it is take out, a snickers bar or just anything I can find in the fridge I am always eating to keep myself feeling alright. I know that I am not the only one out there who does this. With no one to comfort us food can become our lovers, best friend or anything we want it to be. 


What I'm saying is that Mr. Food and I have an unhealthy relationship. Normally in a relationship that is unhealthy you would just get out of it, but you can't do that with food. A girls gotta eat! So my lifelong goal will always be improving my relationship with Mr. Food, but I am the one in the relationship who has to make the change, at least until I find a better, more healthy way to comfort myself.

Long Time...

So I haven't written in a long time. Probably because I didn't want to face the shame that I was only able to stick to my diet for a few weeks hard core. I just have to say, it is hard when you have to battle with food. My problem is that food is the one comfort that never lets me down. Some young women spend their money on clothes or partying, well I spend my money on food. 


It is summer now and we are nearing the forth of July and there are so many sales on all of the bad kinds of foods like chips and pop. I am trying my best to not fall into the trap of buying all of the bad stuff. When I get busy it is very difficult to balance preparing healthy meals and getting everything else done. It is just easier to eat whatever is around or not eat at all. 


What I did learn from my diet is that it made me more aware of how many carbs are in all of the foods that I eat. I just have to try my best and that is all I can do. I'm sorry dear readers, I've missed you.
