This diet thing has me all in a funk. I just can't seem to get a grip on things. Yesterday, I made and ate chocolate chip cookes.
The workouts are great. I feel stronger and healthier. I was surprised at how far I am able to jog.
It's the food. I tell myself each morning that I'm going to make the right choices. I tell myself that when David calls to see if I want anything for lunch I will say yes to a salad. I tell myself that I must listen to the reasonable side of me which wants to eat a healthy balanced diet. I tell myself all of these things, but lately, I'm not listening.

I know what you mean. Out-of-control eating has been a bit of a problem for me, too, lately. It seems if my workouts are on, my eating is out or vice versa. Can't win for losing...LOL.

It is always hard for me. I just flat-out love food. I don't know if an addiction or not, it's not like we can stop eating but I wish I didn't love it so much.
Mark could just care less about food, he just eats what I fix and is happy. He never eats inbetween meals. He would be just as happy with peanut butter every meal. He says he doesn't even like food, he just eats because he's hungry.

I wish it would rub off on me.

Thanks for letting me know I'm not alone ladies. We can do this.
Aola,
I wish it would rub off on me too. David loves food but knows right when he is full and can stop without much snacking in between meals. He also loses weight just by not drinking soda. It's so unfair.

Kathy Krebbs told me once that Jeff could ... skip lunch and sit on the porch and he would have lost 10 pounds and have a tan.

Men!

Men! Geesh!

Don't get me started on my husband . . . It's hard being married to a Greek god. I watched him sleeping this morning and thought, "You are way too pretty."

Sandy, Kristen, Aola,

You are all doing so great.

I think you are all right -- the food relationship is hard because it's necessary and satisfying.

I'm rooting for you.

Thanks, Becky.

My hubby is the same way (doesn't care what we eat, just needs to keep his blood sugar up--he's hypoglycemic), although he has been getting chubby as of late.

Yesterday he told me that he hadn't gained any weight since we've been married, and I told him straight out, "Yeah, but you've lost muscle and gained fat." He has got a big gut on him now, and it makes me worry about his health.

Thanks Becky!

Kristen, David has a big gut too and it scares me a lot. I'm so proud that he is working out and making an effort. With all that he has going on with school and work, I am very surprised that he's making this effort.
