.... to thine own self be true - or THE SCALE DON'T LIE

ahhhh, to look in the rear view mirror!   

looking at ME and my previous blog 

..... one year ago today..... (made a few changes/revisions)

It's oh so healthy to keep a journal or blog.... Did I say that it's healthy.... I think I did!

To thine own self be true

Oh, come on now...... I always say       "oh, I don't eat that much!"

But, yikes! I added up the few measly things I ate today and a whopping 1900 calories.

Ridiculous!  Have you ever REALLY REALLY ever taken the time to see how many Calories and Carbs are in something you have had for a snack, lunch or for "mindless eating"

It's amazing that as smart as humans are.... it's the SAME freakin story that I hear  from my patients ....(and I too have said, quit honestly)

           "I know I'm over weight, but I've tried to lose weight and just can't!"

Then my reply is:           "what did you eat yesterday?"  

                                                             and 

                       "what did you do to use up those calories that you consumed?"   

ahhhhhh,  

the guilty light pops on and then the "excuses" begin!

"This above all: to thine own self be true" Shakespeare

You can try to fool other's 

and 

you can try to fool yourself... 

BUT YA CAN'T FOOL the SCALE!

NUMBERS don't LIE!

Ya shouldn't lie to yourself

                                               

Tomorrow will be a day of more thoughtful choices. 

I will keep in mind that food is a "fuel" for my bodies health.

My well being is my spiritual walk! 

Only HE can truly satisfy! 

*******************************

ok, that was a year ago that I said the same stuff I say today


only thing that has changed is the date  - truth doesn't change

Stop looking to food to "satisfy" your emptiness or frustrations,  (yes, you know I'm saying the truth... we find it soothing and satisfying to FEED OUR FACE)
When you're seeking FOOD it's a symptom of a deficit in your mind or spirit... maybe just maybe it's a nutritional deficiency... but that's rare.


Get smart and keep a record for one solid week of EVERYTHING you eat and drink... You'll be SHOCKED!

Don't be discouraged!   If it were so simple and easy to lose weight... we'd all be "twiggy"


Trust me when I say - YOU CAN DO IT


Just Start the Journey today of "Balancing" your life  

I've been blogging about this very thing this past year.  I've been there and done that too!  

When I recognized that "I'm was at war within myself" about food and exercise  I began this journey. 

It WORKS... It's not a pill or a funky new diet

It's about BALANCE!  

By a  self discovery of the Physical, Mental and Spiritual components of YOU 

It's a Journey.... Get on board!  It's been a fabulous RIDE SO FAR! 

Salute!
