I definitely think I may have a problem. No matter what I’m doing or where I am there is only one thing on my mind……FOOD! I’m constantly thinking of new things to cook or different restaurants to try. I can watch food network or the cooking channel all day. I really love cooking especially things I’ve never made before. The thought of trying something I never had before excites me to no end. I love to snack and there seems to be an abundance of free ones where I work. I can sometimes here them calling my name or imagine how good it would taste in my mouth. I FREAKING LOVE FOOD! Sure they say you can have everything in moderation but that’s not my style. I like to indulge, even when I’m full all I can think about is the next thing I’m going to cook or eat. I definitely have the live to eat mentality rather than an eat to live one.
As I sit at work one thing is on my mind. Food! I’m about to be 23 this month and I weigh 265 lbs. I decided to join a weight loss program and after 14 weeks at it I’ve lost 6.6lbs. Pretty SAD! I have no will power and an extreme love for food. So it makes it really hard to stick to any weight-loss plan. Seeing that a lot of weight related diseases run in my family I think its time I get serious about doing something about my weight. Unfortunately this self diagnosed food addiction I have has been putting a damper on my plan. This is definitely going to be a journey but I’m on a mission. I’m sure there will be some bumps in the road but I’m ready for the challenge. For years I've been ashamed that I have a problem, but who doesn’t? Mine just happen to be food!
