I Think I May Be a Food Addict

Seriously.  I think I may be addicted to food; specifically junk food.  From my upbringing I was not allowed to indulge in many things that I thought at that time would be fun.  Even when I got on my own, my upbringing stayed with me and there were some things that I just couldnt do...or get too far in to.  This didnt count for food.  I came from a family of a bunch of skinny people who could EAT!  Not to mention a mother and grandmother(s) that could cook the socks off of any iron chef!  So my love for REAL seasoned and delicable food started very young.  I didnt grow up one of those fat kids you see on Maury.  I was average.  My appetite on the other hand was not.  My parents were not big avocates on fast food often.  It as reserved as a treat, same for junk food.  So that made me crave it more and more.  So whenever I got a spare quarter or dollar...that is what I spent it on.  This went on into adulthood.  Unfortunetly, my weight caught up with my appetite.

Now that I am rebooting, I can literally feel the pull in my brain when I see "junk" food of any kind.  I WANT IT ALL!  Its not normal.  I was in my local Winn-Dixie buying some Boltshouse "Green Goodness"  and had to FORCE and I mean FORCE myself not to buy candy or chips when going through the register.  It was like I couldnt help myself.  I dont get the shakes or anything that extreme but I do have more than just a habit of eating bad things.  I can admit it.  They say that is the first step in overcoming an addiction.  BUT I DID MAKE IT THROUGH WITHOUT GETTING JUNK...so I can rejoice in that!  Woohoo! I have struggled with this last getting passed 10 lbs because of this tendency to just grab something.  The last 2 weeks, Ive cheated several times.  So I worked into my plan a "cheat" day.  Once a week.  I can have something outside of my reboot BUT it has to be a healthy choice.  So my last official cheat I had California Chicken Grill (a local place where they sell nothing fried...but its really good).  So I didnt feel so bad...and it satisfied my need to "order" food. 

One day at a time.  I know others are addicted (I can name a couple of people I know) but no one notices until they get fat or their health is compromised.

My Battle with Wii Basic Run

 

This game gets on my nerves!!! At least it used to.  No matter what I did I would get a horrible burn rate at the end! What am I talking about? Wii Fit's Basic Run!  I mean I am in my living room wet as a seal and panting for dear life and I would get the most horrible scores ever!  What did it want from me!  Sheesh!  Anyway!  So this morning for the first time ever I got a 85% burn rate, it didn't feel as if I ran faster than any other time...but I noticed one thing.  I kept up with the other lil Wii characters along the trail.  So that is how they measure your rate!  Before I would never see any other characters while I ran for my life....I would let them pass me because its not supposed to be a race.  Apparently they should name it Basic Race instead!  Due to my low scoring in the past, I would avoid the game all together because I dont like losing especially if I am the only one playing! That's no fun...but now I have a strategy and I will conquer you Basic Run! Not to mention it burns a truck load of calories.  

Speaking of which I think I will play right now....

I may even try the long distance route....a good way to cap off the night!  Running Ive learned is a great reliever of the day's escapades.  I dont do stress but sometimes you just have to release or you will find yourself there...ya know!  If you have Wii Fit...get into it!

Till Next Time
