What you don’t see

I would like to pretend that I still don’t struggle as much as I do.

That when I go out to eat, it is easier to choose the “healthy option.”

That working out is a routine.

But who am I kidding? Sugar-coating not included, two years later and I still cry “IT’S NOT FAIR” when I’m out to eat with a friend and they order a cheeseburger & french fries while I order lean meat, no sauce and veggies on the side.

I still cry foul when my friends meet for happy hour after work while I force myself to go to the gym.

I still get embarrassed when my coworkers go down to the cafeteria for lunch but because prefer not to deal with the temptation, I sit at my desk and eat my frozen meal.

True, there are some people out there who, after doing something for a good length of time, can make it a habit.

Clearly, that hasn’t happened to me. So consider this fair warning to all of you out there who think one day you’ll get it. Who think one day you may enjoy eating healthy. Who think you can figure out “temptation.”

What you don’t see is that once you get to the point where you think you want to be, you’ll still fight just as hard.

Weekend Update
I have 2 plans this weekend. First, to send my final thesis to the printer. Yep, you read it right! A little over 6 months after “graduating” I’m finally hitting submit on the project and calling it done. (Luckily they gave me till January to finish it so I’m technically ahead of schedule).

Secondly, I plan on finishing the E-Cookbook that ya’ll have been SO PATIENTLY waiting for! I actually called in back-up and asked Lindsay over at Lindsay: Under Construction to help out. Have you checked out her blog yet? LOVE LOVE LOVE! So anyways, hopefully I have some good news for you early next week in regards being able to purchase the cookbook.
