The long journey

It has been a long and tedious journey trying to lose a little weight. It used to be so easy for me, but lately, as soon as I feel that slight pang of hunger, I seem to go all out and eat till I'm full. It's like I have to fill myself so I don't feel even the slightest hunger pain. Every day I try something new, like "today I'm going to really give it my all and starve myself until dinner. Then I'll eat a healthy salad with a little toast and cheese and call it good." Yeah right!!! The problem is I sit and watch TV in the evening and think about food the whole time. Before you know it, I'm in my car headed to the store to get some ice cream and candy and a Cadbury bar (one of my favorites).
Lately, I have been reading a blog about this lady who is doing an intermittent fast with her husband, and she is basically telling us all about her fabulous experience with it. She says stuff like "I feel so great! I'm lighter than ever before! I can fit in this dress again! I'm so cool cause I lost 10 lbs in 3 weeks! Well, that's all great for you lady, but I don't seem to be able to replicate what you are doing and it has really got me down. I keep thinking, I must try harder.
So I head out onto the patio and see my cute kitty sitting on the patio chair, and I just pet him and love him to take my mind off this for a while.
