"I could never give that up...."

If I have to hear this line one more time I am going to scream. It is more tiring than annoying or frustrating. I am not asking you to give up anything just because I have decided to better my life. Yes I have decided not to eat white potato, sugar, butter, cakes, cream or processed foods as much as possible, but it doesn't mean I am asking you to do it as well so please don't tell me " I could never give that up" or " I would die if someone took my chocolate away"..... I mean lets get realistic you wouldn't die and you COULD give it up if you wanted to, but nobody is asking you to. I am doing this because they are not compatible for my body - I DON'T NEED them to survive and I have alternatives and more nutritious food. I don't think twice now when I see blocks of chocolate or hot chips I know that if it hits my mouth then I will be back 5steps, but if I just avoid eating them then I am fine as I don't have a taste for it and I feel a million times better for it.
 At the end of the day I am the one that WILL be a lot lighter for it, I WILL be a lot healthier for it and my kids will have a happy, active and energetic mum. In 12weeks I WILL be a new person....and you will still be sitting back eating your chocolates and talking about how you would love to lose a few kgs but don't have time. Unfortunately talking about it is NOT doing it is it? Only I can change what I have created and become a better role model for my kids, they won't remember whether we had lollies and sugar infested snacks in the house, they will remember how much time I spent running around with them and the role model I was for them. Which would you prefer? I know which one I prefer.
See you on the flip side.....or probably before.
