Oh Crap! – Musings of an Unperfect Mommy

I broke up with my bag of Easter candy

April 5, 2013

Yesterday my Richard Simmons H.O.P.E. program arrived – quit laughing – he has been a help to many, many overweight and obese people for decades. W hat endears him to everyone? He genuinely cares. He’s BTDT so he knows how hard all this is. He gets you to be kind to yourself and take care of yourself. BUT I’ll save that for my review of the program. So let me begin again..AHEM…

This morning I took out the nutritional booklet which has the set up, meal plans, and exercise calendar in it. I read through most of it and decided that I was going to begin the program. My first step? To throw out the bag of Easter candy I had sitting in my dresser drawer. And I did it – I really did! But before I parted with it, I talked to it. I broke up with candy and it went something like this:

“Hey candy, I’m throwing you out because I don’t need you. You make me feel bad physically and mentally. There are no nutritional qualities in you. I have God to rely on on my bad days and you don’t fit in that picture. So, I’m letting you go because I don’t want you anymore. You’re not good for me. I have found a better way.”

And I tossed that bag of candy in the trash can and walked away feeling pretty damn smug. A feeling of freedom came over me too. Then I made myself a fruit smoothie:

1/4 small banana

1/4 c. blueberries

1/4 c. milk

1/4 c. fat free plain yogurt

Is all this newness going to be difficult? Yes. Am *I* worth it – oh yes I am!!
