Like me, I’m sure that many of you have considered breaking your scale during this time in your life.

I’ve always been on the slim to average side of the scale, but no matter what size you are, packing on 20 pounds is pretty significant! What in the chocolate cake is going on around here? Unless of course, you have an eating disorder and are in need of gaining weight, and to you I say BRAVO! Keep eating, healthy weight is good!

With that being said, I’ve really been thinking about making some serious changes in my diet, overall, just not feeling the best I could be, I know that I can make healthier choices in some of the things that I choose to consume, I mean really! I don’t have to eat ice cream EVERY night! I also feel that this will help me to minimize some of the physical things I feel at this moment in my life, the hot flashes, sleepless nights, tiredness, WEIGHT GAIN, irritability and aches. I know that it won’t solve everything! But I truly believe I can feel better than I do. I am of the belief that we are what we eat, and right now I’m a 5-scoop super sundae!        Ice cream is my number one weakness! My friends often joke that I would trade them in over a bowl of ice cream. Lol! So not true guys ;o)        Gonna take loads of will power, PRAYER, a good plan and a reconditioning of the mind. I don’t want to do a diet, I want to make a life change when it comes to eating. Diets are temporary, and most times when you come off, you gain more weight than before you started the diet! But, if I think of it as a life change, I will make choices that will affect my health for years to come, for the best. Now, I’m not saying that I’ll never gonna have a burger or ice cream again! But I do want to get to the point where I view these things as a treat! And not an everyday food item, I’ve seen way to many bad results of people having a continuous bad diet, heart attacks, diabetes, obesity and the list goes on! I’d like to make changes while it’s still my choice to do so, VERSUS, Ma’am if you don’t do this, your future is not going to be so bright. I think I want to start with juicing first, just to clean out my system and to gear up for the battle ahead. I also started reading this book called “THE 100 by Jorge Cruise”, I’m not done with it yet, but it’s been a very interesting read thus far, it talks about counting only sugar calories, which is primarily my problem, like most people, I am addicted to SUGAR!! I will keep you posted as to my progress with this present battle.
