Adding instead of taking away.....

So I have decided that its time to get healthy again. I say that all the time, but I think im going to go about it a different way this round.

Every time I decide that I want to lose weight, I start removing things from my life. I remove all the good food I like. I remove going out to eat with friends. I even try to remove smoking cigarettes. In the end, all these things lead to my failure to stick to a plan. I cant keep taking things that I love away and thinking its going to be ok.  Its like taking a security blanket from a child. I have to do this slowly so that it lasts.

This time im going to try add things to my life. Im sure it sounds kinda silly, but at this point, anything is worth a shot. I started today by adding a piece of toast with peanut butter to my breakfast. (since I dont normally eat anything in the morning) Next is to add two bottles of water to my day. These are just two of the small steps I am going to take to start my journey to a better me.

Change is coming...  I can feel it.
