Be honest with yourself

I know that we are not all honest about our eating. That is why we are all here. We and I hide what we eat and make excuses. I read today that if we are not honest about food we are not honest about other things in our lives. When I thought about that I said to myself that's true. At work I'm always late no one knows about it because I'm the 1st one in, sometimes I spend 1/2 the day on the internet surfing and chatting, I procrastinate with everything I have to do, and the biggest thing is that I'm not honest with my relationship with my boyfriend... I have a lifetime membership on a dating website that I haven't taken down. I still chat and talk on the phone with other guys who think I'm still single, but don't go out with them, meet them. When they insist on meeting I stop talking to them. I need to be honest and stop the craziness. Take the dating profile down, work on my procrastination, lateness,etc.. I think that we need to work on all the area of our lives where we are not honest. What are you not honest about??

GOOD FOR YOU!
I AM BEING MORE HONEST WITH MY HUSBAND IN TELLING HIM TO NOT ENABLE ME TO EAT SOME OF THE THINGS I DO THAT I KNOW ARE BAD FOR ME....

They do that to us, right?? My boyfriend always gives me his food to finish it off. Why??? He knows I need to lose weight and yet he says let's go to the all you can eat buffet and wonders why I eat so much.

Keep a food or photo journal to show you exactly what you are eating each day. My mother was given one from her dietician and she lied every day on it. Her excuses were "I don't eat that every day, so I will put this instead" or "I am NOT telling them how much I eat. They will think I am a PIG". She said that she has 2 Weetbix 1/2 cup skim milk, white tea, 2 slices of wholemeal toast with a scrape of butter on each. Truth, 4 Weetbix, 1 cup skim milk, Tablespoon of sugar on top, white tea, 2 slices of wholemeal toast (gone cold) and 3 Tablespoons of Marg. I have always said that she has bread with her margarine and cheese. lol. Good luck. xoxoxox
