Day 20-

I'm trying not to stress about things that are going on in my life, because that will just lead me to stress eating, which I can tell you won't be good.

Some people have been amazed to how "easy" this has been for me. I wouldn't ever, and I mean NEVER would call this easy. It's much easier to make bad decisions with food that good ones. As a society we have made food very accessible. Drive thru's, made "your way right away"? Why ever cook? The food is cheap too. What's more appealing than driving through, getting a food in a bag, and throwing away the wrappers? No dishes to clean, no waiting for the food to cook. It's much easier "cooking" for one this way.

I was good tonight though. I just start to imagine that I am eating exactly what I want. It's the best way to make spinach taste good.

I want people to know... I am doing this myself. Yeah I may have a workout partner sometimes.... but really this is about me. I can make 100 excuses as to why I'm not in the gym... but who am I kidding? The only person that I have to answer to... is just me. At the end of the day I have to look at myself in the mirror. No one will know if I ate a french fry but me, which is why I have abstained. I'm starting to like what is looking back at me in the mirror. I'm far from perfect, but I'm really starting to enjoy the way I am feeling about myself.
