Yes I know its bad. Just yesterday I found out how many bad problems it can cause on your body in the long run.
Hey but what do you like in last minute situations.
Like lets say your with your gf and she says lets go get some ice cream...what do you say. Or even with family. My family is like always eating takeout and we go to places on special events. It feels bad when its your birthday and you can't eat your own cake ><, or when a nice lady come to you and offers you something that is full of fat and refined sugars and you say no.
I have been married (once) and for 25 years. My personal goals are well-known around the house, and they know how strong I feel about them. My son's who take me out to dinner once in while, know that if they take me somewhere, it is a place mutually agreeable within my diet rules.
Additionally, it is the same with my wife. We both love Red Lobster, so we go there alot to eat as a mutual compromise. I get teased (especially by my sons-da b@stards!
) once in while, with things they know I love, for example: Double Dipped Chocolate Peanuts, Double Dipped Chocolate Covered Raisins, Reeses Peanut Butter Cups, Hershey's Chocolate Almond Bar, Smores', Real Peanut Butter Cheesecake, and so on and so forth. But, truthfully, I turn it down. A matter of fact Gramma (who we are presently providing for and taking care of) has a candy dish that she continually fills up practically every day, with Hot tommallies, Chocolate Covered Peanuts, Life savers, Chewy candy, and I do not touch it, and I am just a few feet from it as we speak (I am at home on days off at the present time).
I have gotten gifts at work (of candy and whatnot, because of the work I do for my employees), and kindly say thank you and accept it, but save it until I get home, but do not eat it.
From the very beginning of my marriage, I felt ALL responsiblities were sharable, interchangeable, and when one slacks (because of work responsibilities, etc), the other picks up the slack. So, when my wife worked and cant make it home, I cook, clean, do laundry, change diapers, etc. My point is that I can make our dinners, and when my wife makes something she knows I will not like, she usually lets me know, and I simply cook myself something separate, and then eat with the family (though the food is different). Therefore, I live right smack in the middle of persons who do not share my personal opinions (or have the desire to change some habits even if the do agree), but respect what I am doing (and mess with me, because I dish it out to with my rather whacky sense of humor
).
I am sjust simply strong Jani, and wanted my goal these past two years. Sure, I could have had a small so-called item here and there (without complications), but I chose a lifestyle change--that is permenant, within the personal rules I set.
Monday is my birthday. I will get a ton of gifts (which will include food) from employees at work, from various businesses I work with on a regular basis, my wife, and my kids. Happens every year. LOL. My wife and I have come to a mutual agreement, my two boys? Well, they have this "stubborn" thing in them (I cant figure out where in the heck it came from), and they said there giving me what the heck (in food) they want. LOL.......
. I didnt raise these kids right.....I must evaluate this shiaaaaaat. LOL......Kidding. Grandma, is baking me a cake, whether I like it or not--so I do have some problems to deal with before Monday arrives......rather serious one's....ya think?
Best wishes,
Chillen
