Do you ever want something badly but do nothing about it? If so, feel free to worship me — because I am your queen.
I started a new job three weeks ago (we’ve been in training all this time and it’s been stressful at times). Somehow I managed to turn that into an excuse to not exercise at all and to eat like a woman going to the electric chair.
I can’t even fully describe how horrible my food intake has been this week alone. Early in the week, I had an entire bag of Hershey kisses – for lunch. The next day, lunch was a Dominos hot sub with vanilla Zingers (!!!) for dessert. Today? After a breakfast of boxed french toast and bacon, I ended up ordering a huge (HUGE) calezone for lunch. The other half of it was dinner. My evening snack was almost an entire bag of sunflower seeds in the shell. Salted? I can’t even feel my lips at this point.
So, to review: I started a new job – a desk job of all things (and for the first time in a long time, my job doesn’t involve some sort of physical activity). I haven’t been to the gym in over three weeks. I’m eating no fruits or vegetables. Apparently it’s even too much “trouble” to take a multi-vitamin. I’m still not sleeping well and meals are whatever is convenient – no matter the calorie content or lack of nutritional value. I’m afraid to even get on the scale. So what gives? Do I want to lose weight and be healthy or not? And if I do, why do I seem to do everything in my power to fight it?
I started blogging about weight loss goals a few years ago, and here I am — STILL. Still with the same bad habits, still with the same goals and still stuck in the same place.
I’m miserable and yet I’m not doing enough anything about it. WHY??

First off, congrats on the new job!
I have the same problem, especially when I get in the ‘all or nothing’ attitude, which is most of the time.
I always have to remind myself “Baby steps. Incorporate one healthy habit at a time”
Hmmm, this seems to be where I am stuck. I am pretty solid with the exercise, maybe I need to reexamine the whole pieces-of-cake-the-size-of-my-head-for-breakfast thing. As always thanks for making me think and laugh!
If you’re the queen, then I am the princess!!! WHat’s up? We used to be the girls on fire! We were so into it. I don’t get it!!! I want to be on fire again. I know it’s in my control, but how??? How do you do it? UGH! Let me know when you figure it out. haha!
