After reading Ashley's Blog I can only say, I feel your pain. I am not sure if what we have is a true addiction but it is definitely a hereditary pre-disposition to being overweight. If you do not believe me just look at a family album or look around at a family reunion. When I was in college one of the most eye opening revelations I had was in a sociolgy class where they taught us that we would act like our parents unless we made a concious decision to act differently. I did not want to be a parent to my kids like my father was to me so I decided to be different. I should have decided not to be fat as well!! oh well hind sight is 20/20.
Since the start of this contest I have decided to change my lifestyle and not use eating as stress relief and to choose what and how much I eat and not continue to eat just because it tastes good and most importantly to stop when full!! The exercise helps to burn calories and ramp up the benefits of eating properly but no amount of exercise can overcome overeating and eating the wrong foods!! Unless your a professional athlete like Michael Phelps!!
Do I have a point? Yes, I will pray for Ashley and all of us to break the generational curse and bad eating decisions we make on a daily basis. We can do this with God's help!!
I love you all, Oh BTW, I'm am still ahead!!! tee hee hee!!!
