I left this out of my last blog. I quit smoking (again) around the first of the year. Since then, my food addiction has become quite apparent. I guess I would smoke rather than eat more than I thought- hence why people gain weight when they quit smoking. I'm thinking of starting back to weight watchers this weekend. It works as I have started and quit it much like I have the cigs. I'm beginning to see a pattern... But, even though at WW I have to pay someone to tell me that I've gained or lost weight, it does work and there's something to be said for the camaraderie that I feel at the meetings. I think it's probably a better habit, I can pay $12/wk for WW or $12/wk for cigs, so I guess it's an obvious decision. Too bad I didn't decide to start back last week when it was free registration. DOH!
I've unhappily become quite the fat ass in the past 8 years. I've never been what I would myself consider skinny, but thinking back to my previous size, I looked quite nice in comparison to now. I actually busted out a pair of my skinny jeans and man, do they look small now. I've wasted the majority of my 20s being fat and I think it's time to quit it. Maybe overeaters anonymous is an option? It's not really that I overeat though-- if I was overeating carrots and celery sticks, there wouldn't be a problem. I just don't choose the right foods and I know it and educate my patients. Would you take a fat nurse seriously when she's lecturing you about nutrition? But, being the person that I am- I'm always- I know, it's hard to do and something I struggle with myself, obviously (chuckle). It's usually well received, but I would like to lose weight to inspire my patients that they can do the same.
Who knows, I just might be a Big Loser after all. lol
p.s. I think this blog is becoming my new addiction. I don't know why I'm typing like someone is actually reading this when I know they're not, but whatever. lol
