Why's it always food?

We live in a food oriented society. We (or at least I do) eat when I am happy and want to celebrate, I eat when I'm sad, I eat when I bored, I eat for birthday's and the list goes on. I get so frustrated by it. Why am I so attracted to food? I look forward to those butter saturated potatoes, and big juicy burgers. Uhg. I know I am not the only one that feels this way. I know that it is a struggle for A LOT of people. But that doesn't always make it that much less frustrating.

Moving to Texas it's been horrible on my eating habits. I haven't found to many hobbies yet, the kids aren't really involved in too many extra activities that keep me busy, so I eat. I eat because I am sad I left all my family and friends, I eat when Todd and Tanner had a birthday. I get lonely during the day so I make cookies and eat most of them because they sit, staring, at me on the counter.

I haven't exactly gone "up" a size but my pants are getting a little tight and a little to squishy in the backside.....so I think I am going to do the HCG diet again. I know its not the most healthy way to diet and it's pretty rough thing to fallow, but I feel like the last time I did it I got my self under control. I shrunk my stomach, and proved to my mind, as well as my body, I don't need all the extra STUFF to feel me up and be satisfied. I think there are better things to do with my time besides eat.

I think it will be a week or so before I get it and get going but I think I am looking forward to loosing those extra inches that have inched their way back onto my backside and get looking good again for the summer that is coming.

Holy Cow!

I didn't realize how long it has been since I posted on this thing. I guess I really should be better about that! I have moved, celebrated Christmas and New Years, and now feel like I am pulling my life back together...somewhat...

I miss my Zumba class! I had so much fun and felt like I was getting so much more firm doing it. I loved the dancing. I think it is my favorite way to work out. I look like a complete dork, but I was starting to feel like I could let go a little and have a lot of fun. I was also going often enough (2 x's a week) that I almost started feeling like I needed to step it up a notch. I also felt like it was getting my "trouble spots" I know I need to work on them more and harder, but the regularity and mixing up that she would do helped a ton!

I haven't found any classes around here yet but there are a few dance work out videos on Netflix that I want to try. I figure something is better than nothing, because working out makes me feel better about my self and gives me something productive to do, I will try them out.
