Are you following the rules?

Keep focused: I love that fact that I can just vent about food and exercise and don't have to worry about anything. We all know that this site was created for the family and a few friends. I hope that you are all drinking plenty of water, exercising as required and giving up processed foods a little bit at a time. I believe that it would be impossible for a person who eats out every lunch and a few times for dinner to just go cold turkey and go on a strict diet. It seems to me that those people just quit a diet. I have learned that if you gradually change things that you eat and head towards a clean diet you will be healthier than you have ever been. Over time you will try something that you used to love to eat and it usually is too sugary or buttery. It is a great feeling when this happens, so stay focused and get the job done.

This world comes with lots of ups and downs, constantly throwing us curve balls. Most of us don't know if we are coming or going. The one thing you have complete control over is what you eat. I know that sometimes it is hard. Trust me, the other day I wanted to eat a Quaker Chocolate Chip Granola Bar, but I didn't. It took a lot of talking to myself and a phone call to a relative for support, but I didn't eat it and saved myself from empty calories. Anyway, stay focused, I believe that you can do this or I wouldn't waste my time blogging!
