Food!

My my my isn’t food just the most complicated thing out there? Besides love, war and you know other assorted things, but really how much does food rule your world? I think about it all the time, I think about what I’m going to eat, what I’m eating, what I should eat, what I shouldn’t eat, why can’t I eat that and all three pounds of it? Over and over throughout the day food circles my mind and takes over any rational thought. I am one of those people that can rationalize any food at any time of day, if I want it, it’s ‘oh I need that, I’ve had a rough week’ or really just a few won’t matter’ or ‘whatever I just WANT it’. This makes keeping my weight in check a very very very difficult thing to do. It does not help that I am often around those that do not eat small portions and therefore I think, ‘well if they can eat it, why can’t I?’ and the answer to that is, I care too much about what goes into my body to be overly cruel to it. I have a love hate relationship with my body as most of us do. I love it for all that it does everyday, all of the breaths I am able to take, all of the different movements I can do, it is a truly magnificent machine. But there are times I don’t understand it, why on earth can’t it behave itself and not gain weight or help me out a little with loosing weight.  But overall like any machine it needs the right fuel and sometimes the mind and the body just don’t agree on what I should be eating! So I started a different approach, an online approach, http://www.myfitnesspal.com/ , it is so helpful! I used to write down my calories before but this is awesome because you can have friends on it, you can log your calories, your workouts and it gives you goals, it’s great. So hopefully with the help of this online program I can get my eating and life back in control!
