I was on my annual girls trip this weekend and let me tell you, there was a TON of junk available 24-7. When we are together, we know how to eat. Two of the gals are in the restaurant business and they know their food. So I have to be very mindful. I didn't do the late night rally's burger run, I went to the quick shop and got water instead.
They ate donuts for breakfast, I made fresh fruit salad for everyone. They ordered dessert, I tried a bite of the sinful looking one and then put my napkin over my utensils and called it a night! I tried some things, but didn't eat more than that and didn't try the fried macaroni & cheese wonton thing? I can't believe some of the things that fancy chefs come up with, but what it is causing is an epidemic of obesity in our nation that we are having a hard time reveresing.
Two of my friends have amazing bodies, one works out hard, swimming competitively and training an hour or more a day, the other does no exercise but is usually "on" some diet or another and goes up and down accordingly. The other two; one is too skinny when not in love and overweight when in love-(the epitome of "fat and happy") She would tell you that. The other has gained some weight lately. I noticed ithat she wore big and baggy dresses that made her look even bigger.
Girls, you know, if you look in the mirror and see big, you are more likely to 'eat big' that day!
When we went shopping, I encouraged her to buy some things that were more fitted and flattered her figure--she did and looked 10 pounds thinner! What are YOU wearing today? What does it say about your self-confidence? Are you wearing make up? Did you style your hair?
Believe it or not, that all makes a difference in what you do today that will either further your progress or push you further away from your goals and dreams.
So, tell me -- what are your dreams and goals and what are you doing to realize them?
