In Denial

I’ve read a post entitled: “Are we in denial about our weight?”

Interesting topic for me because weight is one of the most talked about topics among women friends, next to makeup and beauty tips, love life for the singles and kids for the moms, the hunt for the best progesterone cream for those who are within the age range, home management tips for the married ones and the best hip places to hang out for those who want to relax. Topics are in no particular order of importance.

What about my thoughts on the article?

I think I am in denial too. I am guilty of giving myself a “reward” because I burned calories when I go to my Zumba class and/or when I get home from a tiring day of work. Yep, the reward brings back the calories I’ve burned when I should have been rewarding myself hooping time instead because it makes me happy too. Gah!

I don’t know how much I weigh, I haven’t stepped on a scale for a long time.

My Feet

I’ve noticed my feet are a bit swollen after I sit for a few hours while online. I feel bad about it. Yesterday though, because I was out half the day, my feet weren’t as swollen as these were the other day.

Hmmm… weight loss pills that work to the rescue for me? Yes, apparently, if one has weight issues, the feet get swollen.

Perhaps I need to do more of my Zumba and Hoopnotica hula-hooping routines whether I stay at home the whole day or I go out to work. As for the Zumba, nah, I don’t go to a class because the “official” class is held a bit far from where I live, I just improvise and dance move to the beat. Super fun!

Food Photos

Looking at food photos do not just make me want to go run to the kitchen (ok the supermarket first to get the ingredient which I know I may not have) to cook up something that I know we will enjoy. Not that I am a great cook but what I prepare passes the standards of the kids. Well, we know how kids can be picky.

Anyway, looking at food photos make me think of reading diet pill reviews. Gah!

My food photos can be found here and here.

Now, I’m off to the kitchen to prepare the fresh tomatoes for the pasta 🙂

Weight Talk

Whenever I see food photos, I feel like grabbing these yummy food and have a bite. Or two.

I am constantly telling myself about the need to eat healthier, well, i do but knowing about the many food saboteurs around me  doesn’t really help.

I remember someone who has been taking appetite suppressant as a way to not give in to the temptation of taking too much food.

Personally, I believe that self-discipline is one of the keys to keeping the weight off and with  everything else, change start with the self.
