It aint easy
Everyone who has ever had a weight problem know’s this. Dieting and getting over the addiction to food seems harder than ridding of a drug. What we do not realize is that we are the only ones holding us back from becoming healthy, fit people. It is estimated that within 10 years about 90% of our nation will be overweight and obese. How could this happen? Yes, I of all people should know, at the age of 20 I almost hit the 200 pound mark… I used to eat half an entamines cake after dinner almost 3 times a week. I did stop though and I credit myself for that no matter how many slip up’s I might have on my journey. It’s not easy… but nothing in life is and sometimes we just have to bite our tounges and say “I am not going to eat this, I’m not going to do this to myself”. Walk away. Just walk away. Pretend there are drugs in it… I mean, theoretically speaking, the foods that are no good for us are like drugs. They become addictive, they ruin your health, make you depressed, interfere with your social life and make you feel like shit. So next time you are craving something sweet… go to the deli and buy an apple. Drink a coffee. Do something, but do not buy the cookies!!
Now, as for my love of food, today I made plantain lasagna. I know at first you might say gross.lol. Trust me though, this is a delicious meal. I am going to post the recipe on my page so if you guys are interested, try it out. 1/4 peice is less than 500 calories(I doubt anyone can eat that much though), 1/8 is about 250… and it is very low fat, full of fiber and packed with protien.
Next week look forward to my low fat, low sugar banana chocolate cheese cake…. mmm.
I didn’t eat lunch but during the cooking I ate plenty of plantains… lol.. at least 200 calories worth. So I think I’m good until I eat my scrumptious dinner…I am not weighing in any time this week due to the fact that tom is haunting me, the bastard! Hopefully this weekend I will see another pound dropped… At least one and I wont complain.
People, find what motivated you the most. I’m not speaking of the kind of motivation that hits you for 2 minutes and then it’s over. I am talking about that good motivation. Funny that after over 50 pounds of weight loss I just found mine… Cooking!
Take care of yourself. Trust yourself. Love yourself.
Be good!!!! :)

It’s not easy especially I think since people are on the go go go. I speak from experience because I used to take my son to school, go to work, pick him, go back to work, go home and take him to practice and there left very little time to cook so we would eat out whenever we could. Alot of people are just on the go I think and bad foods are just so easy to reach for. It really isn’t easy. Hopefully things will turn around for people in general.
