New Outlook

So I tried Joshi. I just can't get my head around all the rules. I know there is a point and that it's probably fabulous to detox one's liver, but that is not my goal at the moment.

My goal is to break all my nasty habits that have resulted in me gaining about 20lbs in the past 2 years.

I think the breaking point for me was when Wii Fit told me I was overweight. It also reported that I have the "fit age" of 27, which is awesome, but still. Overweight is overweight and I need to address this. I just can't believe its taken a computer game to make me realise I have to make some changes.

It often starts with the downtrodden "why me's". There are tons of people in the world that eat was worse stuff and are skinny. Why is it that my metabolism can't keep up? The answer is; who cares. It isn't as quick and therefore I must eat fewer calories and less fat. I can whine and bitch forever about how life is unfair, but that isn't going to make me thinner. Oh no its not.

And yes, I do care about being thinner. I won't be a supermodel, ever. I'm not delusional, but I am overweight. The doctor said it and the wii said it.

So now I do a realistic, lower calorie, smaller portions attempt at losing those pesky pounds and being a fitter, healthier me.
