TGsIF!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I'm craving something cheesy!Anyway so here we are at Friday and things are going well, I'm doing well and the weather is good so I'm hoping to get out a little bit over the weekend. Outside. In the yard. Away from the computer and the television. The great outdoors. You get the picture.Anyway, still celebrating that happiness that comes with a day where my percentage of fat is less than 15% of my total caloric intake and the exercise I'm doing is making me feel better. You know when I look at it REASONABLY, it's not that hard to do. When I look at it through the eyes of an addict, all I can see is that I've not had a bacon ultimate cheeseburger with 4 tacos on the side in more than 60 days. I can't remember the last chocolate banana shake I've had from Jack in the Box. And Taco Bell ... is it still open in our town even? Haven't been there in a month. And these thoughts make me sad. They do. These foods make me feel good. They brought me up when someone berated me to the ground, they brought me up when someone hurt my feelings, they brought me up when I felt like crap or had the blues. Know what makes me feel good now? Knowing I'm going to live a more comfortable life because I've taken control and by this time next year I'm going to be close to half my overweight gone. By this time in 2012, we'll have a new president and I'll have a new body. A new wardrobe. A new life. A new outlook on everything. I won't let success go to my head though, I'll still be ... me

It's amazing to look ahead just a year, I do agree...

Makes me excited and sad at the same time (DS18 will be graduating at the end of May)
