Diet? What Diet?

I know I'm NEVER going to be the" skinny Kim" that first dated Jason many full moons ago.  It's never going to happen, my metabolism says so.  I need to accept my circumstances the way they are....but also recognize, that life can be better. So..to my 2 blog readers that are out there...since my last blog post I was suppose to be on my strict diet.  Yes....I too, have succumbed to the pressure of not following through and completing the course.  But you know what....IT's OK.  Obviously, I want to enjoy the tastes of what is offered to us without feeling so restricted.  I know the importance really is about portion control.  We are cursed with having so much abundance of food in this life...that we fail to recognize when to stop.  Yet.....I just couldn't deal with the strict diet again....I felt unhappy....and somehow, I felt I was ashamed of myself partly after the lofty number that occurred on the scale post holiday season.  Despite this number, it just wasn't enough motivation for me to suffer through this crazy diet again.

So what am I going to do now?

 I just want to focus on BALANCE: Balancing my diet with foods I enjoy to eat...and balancing that with a fun activity for my heart.  My diet is about compromise.  Just compromise...a little sacrifice on my part, something agreeable for the waistline, and permission to indulge sparingly.  We'll see what happens. Some thoughts that come to my mind that who knows, may actually make sense:

• Consider Compromise....throw away the "I can't" and focus on what you have the potential to do if you try. 
• Exercise is NOT EVIL!
• I WILL have chocolate and not feel guilty
• I WILL BE HEALTHY
• I LOVE my heart...do you love yours?

I'm definitely a slightly bigger version of myself 15 years ago, but it's ok....My hubby still digs me. ;)
