Hey! Where's My Feet?

Willpower. I’ve decided I hate this phrase, at least in how it applies to dieting. It's thrown around a lot, usually by people who are not or never have been fat. “If only she had more willpower, she wouldn’t binge like that.” Usually it’s used to blame a fat person’s obesity on their own weakness... Basically, I think it's bullshit.

Phew... been a couple of weeks since I last posted anything and let me just say - ROLLER COASTER!!!!! So you know how I'm an emotional eater right? Well if that was going to be tested any time, it was during the past two weeks...

It was a rough week and the long holiday weekend made it even more hard!  Although I will say, being busy all weekend with activities & such has kept me occupied and not eating as much garbage!  Friday night was a liquid dinner mixed with some massive carpet cleaning – WooHoo!  Saturday, back to cleaning and off to my MIL’s for a delish whole grain spaghetti dinner with 7 layer salad… I would have been just fine with the salad, it was AWESOME!  Sunday… I’ll admit I was a piggy & finished off that salad – is it wrong to eat salad for breakfast?  Oh, I did have a bacon egg bagel from Tim Horton’s too… than half a wrap for lunch and finished the day off with grill pork chops & grilled zucchini!  All
