Day 3 - I Don't Understand

Here's something I've never understood about myself or my fellow human beings:  We all want to be skinny, healthy, and in great shape.  I've never met a single person who said they liked being an out-of-shape-tub-of-lard.  I certainly don't like it.  So given that fact, how come we allow ourselves to get fat? 

Seriously, we KNOW what we need to do to be skinny...the problem is not lack of education or lack of knowledge.  Being skinny is something we all desperately want to do.  It's not lack of motivation.  So again I ask, why in the world don't we just do it?? 

Being skinny is most definetly something within our control.  No one ever shoved those cheeseburgers and fries down my throat.  In every instance, I did it to myself.  Why?  Why do I do this to myself when I don't want to??  It's self destructive behavior that I don't understand.  It makes no sense.

Perhaps part of the answer lies in the fact that everytime I try to change my eating and excersise habits, I start from the outside, rather than looking inside myself.  For guys, at least this guy, it's far easier to look at my outside problems than to face up to the demons and imperfections I've got lurking around inside of me.

As part of this transformation I'm going through, I'm trying to be a better all around person.  Maybe if I'm nicer to people, more patient, and simply more considerate (especially when I'm driving!!) I'll find more peace inside myself and that will translate into a healthier person on the outside.

Today was a great day.  I ate very good...I'm already starting to feel better after just three days.  I don't think I'm any smaller, but I've worked out three time now and ate really good meals...and I feel better.

I hope you are having a great day!  Thanks for reading my blog and joining me for this journey.

Peace and Happiness
