Do you ever feel the urge to turn your car slightly towards the entrance to your favorite fast food place?

I have decided my gps needs to be programmed, and say "nothing tastes as good as being thin feels, get back on the road!"

"Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels", this saying has been on a magnet on the side of my grandpa's fridge for as long as I can remember.

It never really meant anything to be until this last year when I started my weight loss journey.

How did it I get to being overweight? Well let's see, I choose to eat fast food, junk food, etc. as a quick easy way out. I was a new mom I thought that it was "easy", and didn't take away time from spending with my child. Soon I had gained all of my pregnancy weight back plus some.

"Nothing tastes as good as being thin feels", this is now written on the side of my fridge, to help remind me every time I go in to the kitchen and think I need that sweet treat.

Eating all the junk food, greasy fast food, it all doesn't taste as good now when the guilt kicks in afterwards. After I finish, I feel the guilt, why did I just ruin my good food day? To be honest the food doesn't even taste the same, my stomach can't handle all that grease like I did before. Not only do I feel mental guilt, I usually always feel physically sick as well.

Food is the hardest part of my weight loss journey. I go back and forth so much on it. I can have a great few days, and then decide that McDonald's just sounds so good. Eating almost as many calories as I do in a day, in a single meal.

I need to get better about eating "clean". 80% of weight loss is food.

I think I need to add that to the side of my fridge as well.

On another note, I have decided to the Jillian Michael's 30 day shred, starting on Oct. 1st, in addition to my regular workout routine. I have heard alot of people having good results, as long as they stick with the routine.

Here's to a lighter me by the end of October!
