Hi Guys!
I wanted to share this with you all.
As I type this post from my workplace, the conference room is filled with co-workers and Pizzas!! Meat Lovers Pizzas, Veggies Pizzas, Cheese Pizzas, Pepperoni Pizzas, breadsticks and salads. I must have heard it spoken 5 times: “Nelly don’t you want some Pizza?” To which I said 5 times: “No thanks! I’m not hungry!”
I did open a Pizza box lid and stared for what felt like an eternity at a Pizza with sausage, ham, black olives, pepperoni and onion. I really looked at it and yes, for 10 seconds I was really really tempted to just go for it. But I didn’t! I settled for 30 seconds of “Self pity party” and a diet coke! I walked right back to my desk and left everyone gorging themselves with Pizza delight in their eyes.
How do I feel about it? I have mixed feelings , because part of me wanted to take a slice and eat it. But the Militant part of me prevented me. I heard a voice in my mind saying” Go ahead eat it and watch that scale go backward and don’t you dare complain about it either! It’s all up to you!”
So in a nutshell, it is my choice!!!!!!! It is HARD!!! Some days, down right torturous and cruel! But at 206 lbs my lowest weight in 3-4 years, I won’t let myself go backward even though “ the don’t give in choices” I make each day might make me feel bad at that very moment, It will all be worth it in the end. So I will conclude this Pizza story by saying that “TO REACH MY DREAM I MUST BE PREPARED TO DO NOT ALWAYS WHAT I WANT BUT WHAT I MUST”.
