Day 6 - Guilty

I kind of cheated last night and I feel incredibly guilty about it. We had some wings from a local pizza place (they are fantastic). Anyway, I did enter them in my food diary, but I had to guess at it. And because of that, I feel guilty. I'm really struggling today. I want to say shag it all. But I won't. I'm trying to talk myself out of my workout today. But I won't let myself do that. Wouldn't life be so much easier if there was an easy button? You know what I'm talking about, the kind that's on the Staples commercials. Why can't stuff like this be easy? Why does it have to be such a, forgive the pun, workout? And why does it seem like weight just melts off some people and not others? Why can't I be that person?

I know I'm not alone in these feelings. If losing weight and eating right was so easy, then there wouldn't be an issue with obesity in the world. But it's far easier to eat a pizza then a tomato. And I know it's not easy to eat veggies. It wasn't until I was married and introduced to a whole new way of eating vegetables, that I really started to like them. Growing up, vegetables consisted of potatoes, peas and carrots, occasionally turnip and cabbage (Jiggs dinner) and if my mother made chicken devan, broccoli. Oh and I guess green peppers and onions in spaghetti sauce. I've actually come to like peppers, eggplant, avocado and so much more. Who knew?! But don't tell me parents that I like veggies ;)

Anyway, I'm trying to keep the big picture before me, improving my health and looking and finally feeling, good about myself. It's just that most days, it's a struggle. And I want to give up.
