TIRED OF THE EXTRA WEIGHT

You know, I quit drinking years ago, quit smoking, and now I am battling this weight.  Actually, I have battled it off and on all of my life.  I am sick of it.  I have written blogs hear only to fail with the weight loss and delete my blogs.  I am sick and tired of this extra weight.  I am also tired of posting here and not being able to follow through.  I lost some weight recently but only after gaining about 5 pounds from my last weight.  It was frustrating.  I have been more motivated this week then ever.  I quit buying food at work.  I am doing more portional control.  I am not eating whenever I get a craving or because it is habit.  I am starting to work out again at the Fitness Center at my work.  I am looking at why I eat.  My mother once told me that you eat to live, not live to eat.  She was vey skinny near the end even before her cancer was diagnosed.  I don't want to be skinny.  I just want to be a healthy weight for my height and body frame.  Tomorrow I am going to start recording my calorie intake.  I was doing good today but then kind of blew it at dinner with a buffalo chicken entre that was breade.  I am looking more and more at the nutrition labels too.  Not just calories, but fat grams, sodium, etc.  I will also be lookng at saturated and unsaturated fats.  I just have to get into the habit or writing things down and recording them after I get home from work and on my days off.  Tomorrow is another day but I am happy for the weight I have lost.
