You ever wonder, other than the smell of our favorite enticing food, why we fall off the wagon?  I think that is the constant thought I have every time I hop back on a diet.  Frankly, I think it's the monotony of it, the constant every day, "How much fat is in that?", or "Wow, that's a ton of sodium!", it drives me a bit nutters!  And honestly, I am not a person who persevere's over a long period of time.  I can go, balls to the wall, for about a month or so before I get bored.  Then something will happen, an excuse, so to speak, that veers me off track.  That's when I say to hell with it!  I have found, to combat this, is the smaller the goal I have the better.  A certain time frame, or weight.  But, nothing that is more than 20lbs or lasts longer than 6 weeks.  I got thru my first 6 weeks this way.  I took 2 weeks off, and then got back on it.  This is my second week back on, and today, I am just annoyed!  I am trying to change my mindset, at least for the time being, that food equals fuel.  And with that fuel, I get energy, which burns calories.  So, the taste of the food, well although it's good, it doesn't have to be fabulous.  It just has to get me through.  Sounds weird, ya, as a lover of food, I thought so too.  But, I eat 6 times a day, and don't have very much to eat at one time.  A swig of water, and that usually gets it down.  And I do it all, why?  To be healthy?  Yes.  To try and get fit?  Yes.  To look hot in Jamaica?  Hells Ya!  Okay, okay, I am done.  I apologize for the rant!  And thanks for listening!  I just had to get that out!
