Set Up To Fail

Are we all set up to fail?  Society bombards us with commercials filled with burgers, ice cream, fried chicken, sodas, and candy, but ask yourself when do you ever see commercials filled with fruits, vegetables, or anything that may be good for you?  Almost never!  So I feel like as people we have been set up to fail in a fast paced, fast food society.  It's easy and convenient, and it also has added so much weight to my waistline that I now am starting to struggle to bend over and put on my shoes.  Really you may ask.  Yes, really!

Unless you are fat, there is no way for you to understand the effects of weight gain.  I can tell you as a 35 year old woman, going from naturally athletic and thin, to being a Mom who almost has no time for herself after a day at work, homework, dinner, baths, dishes, and a few loads of laundry.  Now, I do alot, but I also grab and go alot.  The truth is, I grab all of the wrong stuff like pure fat because it's convenient, and I am too tired to do it any different.  I struggle to run up and down the steps of my house.  I suffer from fatigue daily, and I think my extra large coffee with a boat load of cream and sugar will keep me going, all the while it is giving me a quick high and then a quick crash which just makes me more fatigued.

Look, I want to be able to look down and see my toes again.  I want to be able to bend over without huge rolls holding me back.  I want to look in the mirror and see one chin and be happy with the person looking back at me. 

Yes, we are two days till Thanksgiving, but if I don't start controlling it, I never will!  This is it, People!  I am setting myself up to win!  Watch me go from being the Fat Mom to the PHAT Mom.
