it's amazing when you write it down

As of late, I have found how willing to negate change I am when documenting something. I have been happily sharing my inner thoughts and outer emotions with you all, my "peoples", and find myself, throughout my day, thinking about what to share next. Honestly, I feel like I have diarreah of the mouth (and soul). I guess that's what happens after extreme oppression, at least in my case anyway. During my day, MANY different thoughts come to mind. What is so fantastic about this online blah blah blah, is that I can do exactly that. I have NEVER been able to keep a journal...tried lots of different times, but nothing has ever taken. This is different. I have so much bubbling out of me when I finally let it all out, it just fills back up again. And if it sucks then so what, who gives a shit, all I know is I had fun writing it.So for this wellness class I am taking we have a nutrition project we have to do. Our textbook came with a computer program to track your food intake and exercise. We have to track everything we injest for a week and then generate a report comparing our diet to the nutrition guidelines. How embarrasing!!! After one day I realized what poor shape I was in as far as food was concerned. After Lilac was born I did Weight Watchers to lose the last 15, and they preach to "write it down" . Keep track of what you eat. AIN'T THAT THE TRUTH!When you document what you eat (truthfully) it can be kind of a wake up call. It certainly was for me. For the past 3 days now I have been Ms. healthy eating, and the best part is I feel great. I have always used food as a pleasure source. I am not afraid to admitt that I LOVE TO EAT. I love pasta, and steak, and pizza, boy I love pizza, and cake and cookies, and ice cream and wine and beer and nachos, I LOVE nachos, on and on and on..... Food makes me happy. But feeling good about myself makes me more happy.So thank you Mr. McNally for making us do these health contracts. Thank you for kick starting my road back to halter tops, tube tops, and hot pants.....I wish..
