Even the Good Fall Down

I can't even begin to count how many times someone has said to me "I wish I had your will power!" Little do they know that my will power is TERRIBLE!! If I even think of a pizza, next thing I know I'm at the nearest Little Caesars ordering a pepperoni Hot N Ready that I will devour all by myself. This happens more times than not, by the way.

Today I woke up (having devoured half a large Frank and Gus pizza the night before) feeling like utter crap. My self esteem is shot, my jeans no longer fit, my muffin top is growing more and more every day. I need to take control of me, my life, and what I eat. I can be so focused when there is a goal. But when the goal is six months (or more) away, then I've got a problem. There are far too many excuses that I use to rationalize the poor choices I make in my eating habits.

So today I'm making myself accountable... to my husband, to my coach, to whomever will read this blog... to ME! I know if I fill my diet with clean eats I'll be feeling great in no time!

That's not to say I'll never eat pizza again, or that I won't indulge a little here and there. But that the "here and there" are spread further apart than 2 days, and that the pizza ordering doesn't happen on any given Sunday.

Today I start building a better me - mentally and physically!
