Low Carb Diva

June 5, 2009

Today is National Doughnut Day. So go ahead and enjoy all of those fried, sugary, sweet confections. You only live once and might as well die in a sugar induced coma in front of the television.

Some days are just harder than others and some weeks just seem to drag on and on. I won't be participating in National Doughnut Day. Though I have to admit that for a few minutes I thought about it. I mean really thought about it. A lot.

Before I started eating low carb I would look forward to the weekends. I would go to the grocery store and buy ice cream, pretzels and dip, cookies, cake or whatever else I was craving and eat all weekend.

I would justify eating this way by promising myself that I would start eating right on Monday morning. Of course it is so much easier to tell yourself this lie as you are eating pizza and cupcakes and are feeling sick from eating so much sugar and carbs.

Once that sick, bloated and full feeling went away so did my resolve and motivation to stop eating those things on Monday. I bargained more than 15 years of my life by doing things like this.

If you are planning a carb fest this weekend with the promise to get back on track Monday, STOP. Don't do it because those weeks will turn into months, those months into years. Start right now this minute, this second. A year from now you can either still be lying to yourself about starting to lose weight or you could be much thinner than you are now.

It's your choice. I choose to live and get healthy everyday.
