Alfredo

Over the last year I managed to somehow lose 50 pounds... well, 40 (the last 10 seems to come and go)...either way it has been a huge accomplishment that I sometimes forget to reward myself for. I would guess that 95% of people who diet and exercise in attempt to lose weight fail. I had been trying to lose weight for years and failed everytime. I recently lost that ten pounds that I said comes and goes... but then last night I had the biggest bowl of alfredo pasta. BUMMER! It didnt even really taste that good. Did you know people actually associate eating food with being happy? Our bodies release certain chemicals when we eat that give us happy feelings. Ever notice when you even think about that lil hammie from McDonalds you get this warm, fuzzy feeling inside? Yep, thats the killer right there. I am writing this blog right now because I want to lose this last 10 pounds by Valentines Day. That gives me about a month, which is about the time it should take me if I can lose about 2.5 pounds a week. It sounds to me like I have a lot of time to spend in the gym eh?? I guess I better quiting typing about it and go right now!!! (Exercise also releases happy feelings)
