This is My Turning Point

I love, love, love food.

When I get up in the morning, I think about Pepsi and donuts.

I rarely tell myself that I can't have those things.

When I get in the car and go get Pepsi and donuts, I then feel bad about eating such a thing, imagining the plaque coursing through my veins, and on a sugar high, I swear to myself that I will keep food from my mouth area.

Well, before long, my body has processed those simple carbs, and I begin to crash.

Now, I am really hungry. So, in order to eat "healthy," I go to Panera Bread or Camille's and order tomato soup with salad or a wrap, along with another Pepsi. Oh, I really love Pepsi.

So it goes... day in and day out... lots of guilt... lots of tight-fitting clothes.

It goes on an on.

But, I am making a change. It is not simply saying "tomorrow, I will do better." It is a life change.

This is my turning point.
