Accountability
Took the kids to San Diego last week. Just got the pictures from the waterproof camera back from Walmart. Going to have to be a little more than "half-tempted" to lose some weight.
I look at friends and family who are overweight and most of them are struggling with Type 2 Diabetes. Is this what I want for my future? I recognize that I eat due to stress, but does the food I cram in my mouth do anything to banish or lessen the stress, or does it just create more stress over my health and my self image?
Ad-man called me a couple of weeks ago and invited me to a pool party. What, am I going as a beach ball? No, I stayed home, and if I had been thinner I would have gone and enjoyed myself. How sad has it gotten when I won't participate in social activities, and won't even wear shorts or a bathing suit because I'm ashamed.
So while this blog did not begin as a way to hold myself accountable, I think I will use it that way for a while. Do me a favor . . . if we're going out to eat, and I order crap, give me the raised eyebrows, would ya?
