I just finished eatting Chinese food with my dad. Big mistake. Why is it that it's so hard to just say "NO" to something I know is so horrible for my body? I know how it damages the spirit after looking in the mirror and seeing someone I don't like. I know how emotionally degrading it is to feel like there's a different person underneith everything. Even though I know all the facts, I know what I should be putting into my body...I just find it so hard to commit to with my parents. Hopefully next year at college I'll be able to keep with a healthy lifestyle, not a life swimming in grease and cholesterol. I control what I put into my mouth. My body is a machine, I will tune it correctly with nutritious and healthful foods. I will not cave to the all-american diet full of preservatives, and that lacks vitamins and nutrients. I will stay strong because this is MY body, not my parents! :)
That felt good to get out. Sorry if I took a lot of space. I'm just mad at myself for caving in to cravings. Hello, MSG's :(

i know how it goes to not understand a lack of will power and control against what u know is bad for you. it's good to get it out though. say it out loud to yourself, because what we say is more important than what we just think. (i learned that in class today) speaking of...becareful with the whole college thing. i'm in my first year. i didn't gain much weight, but my eating habits changed for the worst. all of a sudden you have weird hours for class and everything else. your eating and sleeping schedules and habits get messed up. it makes it easier to just grab that pizza or burger on the go. u sound motivated though, so i know you will be fine. i don't mean to make it sound tough. i didn't gain any weight at all actually. i just wanted to give you a heads up so you'll be prepared. good luck with everything! i believe in you!!
