Does anyone remember the 90s song, "Return of the Mack" by Mark Morrison?
I guess I must lie to myself and tell myself that I can lose weight whenever I want. I know lie to myself and think that I can lose weight whenever I want. It is like someone who is trying to quit drinking or smoking. He can quit drinking whenever he wants. She can quit smoking whenever she wants. And, the truth is none of us can do it whenever we want. Can we do it? I'm sure we all can quit. Do we want to quit? That is the real question. And, also, we cannot quit alone. We need help. Whether it be counseling, prescriptions to curb the cravings or in my case, a nutritionist.
Here is the kicker. I have been to a nutritionist. I bought the lifetime membership to Jenny Craig. I have paid good money to Medi Weight loss and still... and STILL...nothing. I have done it alone. I lost about 10 pounds in December. And, yes, I felt great. And, like any other addict, I thought I had turned the corner. But, I had not. I went right back to my bad habits/addiction: sugar and carbs and cokes.
What can I do differently to change? Hmm? I can tell myself that I am going to be on an exercise schedule. I'm going to walk, try to run, go to the gym, get on the bike. I need to educate myself. Educate, educate, educate!
Read labels, walk, run, bike, and everything else.
