Quote for today - Are you being honest?

Your body keeps an accurate journal regardless of what you write down... 

I can recall the days, years ago..one of the many times I had half-heartedly "attempted" to do the Weight Watchers Program.  I would arrive at the meeting, step on the scale only to be "surprised" that my pounds had not gone down or had actually gone up.  I would lie to myself and say, well I wrote everything down and thought I did well.  Really?  Everything?  What about that sweet tea?  What about those nibbles while cooking?  What about the extra cookie?  Did you get that bag of chips?  NO!  I felt like a little daily sneak wouldn't show up on the scale.  I mean it was small...what could it hurt.  Hahahahaha!  Yeh, right.


I can recall the days when I would say, "I really don't eat that much."  Really?  How would you know?  However, once I started writing it down...it became real.  I ate much more than I thought.  My portions were too big and I had more breads/carbs than anything.  Hardly, any fruits and veggies.  But somehow, I thought I would lose weight, while being clueless.  


I tried many times to keep up with my menu "in my head" only to wake up, week after week with the same pounds sitting there and quite often a few more added.  Nothing changed much until I started to plan my menu and honestly journal.


So ladies it's true..

Don't lie to yourself!  Your body knows!  Let's keep it real!
