I have been horrible at keeping this journal as well as horrible at changing my life style. For instance, today I had a McChicken biscuit with two hash browns for breakfast and seasame chicken with an egg roll for lunch. Now isn't that awful? I need to realize that I am literally killing myself. My health is literally declining. I already have high blood pressure. It is only a matter of time before diabetes, heart disease, fatty liver, and everything else joins the mix. Today a new study came out directly linking obesity to six different types of cancers, two of which my grandmothers had. Talk about frightening. What is it going to take to make me realize I need to change? I just do not get it. I guess having my soon to be ex tell me that he wasn't attracted to me anymore wasn't enough. Or maybe feeling the elevator bounce when I step on. Or maybe being embarassed to sit on an airplane because I am crowding the person next to me. Or worrying about breaking a chair at a restaurant when sitting at a table instead of a booth. What is it going to take? An actual heart attack or stroke? My breathing is already more labored due to the asthma and excess weight.
Anyway, that was my vent for the day. Now I am off to hand out this terrible candy to all the trick or treaters. I hope that they aren't like me. I would hide and sneak food and candy when I was younger. Food became my comfort.
OK. That is enough. Have a good day!

Okay missy - I think that you think you are twice the size you are. Health reasons are one thing, but you are not a mammoth girly. Just saying!
Cooking for one is hard. (Heck, I find cooking for two hard even). Best thing you can do is cook in large quantities and invest in tupperware. That way when you're tired and don't feel like cooking its easier to pop something healthyish and homemade in the microwave than it is to get Chinese takeout. I have some tried and true recipes I could email over if you like. I have some not-so-great for your ones I can share too. ;)
I'm starting my New Years healthy kick resolution today instead of waiting. I need to get me some more energy!
Need to keep posting girly! I need stuff to do at work! I'm starting up my sparkspace account again (its free, I just happen to ignore it too often). I think its handy for tracking meals and workouts (unless its ignored I guess). If you're interested, you can find it here - http://sparkpeople.com/
(I'm such a nerd! Got my reading list online and now my fitness stuff.)
