365 Reasons Why

So my bugg has still not arrived yet but I am trying to prepare to get back into the watching and writing down everything that goes into my mouth groove. Today I have done excellent at paying mind to my eating! Yesterday went awesome as well! I did also exercise for an hour today! It felt really good.

I got to thinking this morning that I really ought to try to build up my self esteem because the way I feel about myself is going to have a very strong impact on my success! As part of this, I've decided to come up with reasons why losing the weight and maintaining a healthy weight/lifestyle is beneficial. I want to discuss one reason a day to serve as a positive affirmation to help keep me motivated and on the straight and narrow path. I know it is unrealistic to think that I will eat perfect everyday for the rest of my life but this is a process! If you always do the same things you've always done you always get the same results you've always gotten so why not try something new this time around?

So here is reason number one (remember these are not in any particular order but this one is for sure my number one reason):
My baby boy!

I had a baby last June! There are certain things that all parents want for their children and they will do just about anything to insure that their child has those particular things. The number one thing I want for my son is for him to have the absolute best role model he can have! I do not want him to have to grow up with, or develop at some point in his life a weight problem.

I know that I do not have control over his choices as an adult, but I want to start him off with the absolute best foundation he can have! How is it fair if I am trying to teach him proper nutrition and what a healthy lifestyle is all about if I do not have one of my own! I want to surround him with nothing but the best I can give and the best I can give him is a healthy mommy. I want to be here for him! There is no better reason for me to take control of my own life!

That is going to be it for today, my little muffin man is teething and needs to snuggle with his mommy!
