Acta Non Verba

Talk about a wake up call! I just got the pictures from Halloween and my Alice in Wonderland costume and all I can say is OMG! That will serve as motiviation for a long long time. I look terrible! It's like Alice at the cookie that turned her into the Michelin man. I was feeling okay earlier this morning but that just sent me falling down the rabbit hole. Yikes! Glad I passed on that donut this morning because I wouldn't have been able to live with myself. It's like in our heads we can make these excuses and talk ourselves out of reality and make ourselves feel better. Self preservation is a load of crap. The reality is that I am overweight. Maybe not by catastrophic proportions but enough to make me unhealthy and my pants a little too tight. I wore this pair of jeans the other day and I am pretty sure I sliced my spleen in half. Who wants to be that uncomfortable? Not me thank you very much. I am tired of unbuttoning, covering, elastic-ing my life. Seeing those pictures was...well....devestating. I can't continue down this path. I need to treat myself better because I have a 4 year old that's counting on me to live a long and healthy life. A couple girls at work are reading The Diet Cure. I think I'll pick it up this weekend. After all the holiday party is in exactly 4 and 1/2 weeks. So the new motto is Acta Non Verba. Deeds not words. Happy Friday everyone!
