Week 19: No More Fries

This week it has been hard to come up with something to do for a resolution. I am still excited at how well last week's is going with the budget that Sunday came up on me quick! Today I went to work out with my friend that I used to work out with daily last summer. Our schedules are finally aligned and we have time, but I am also leaving in a few weeks so it will not last. But, in our discussions she told me her goal was to eat healthier (just after she informed me that since she went for a run she could drink beer). She is not going on a diet though, just eating healthier. I told her that it is a lot easier to just start cutting out foods one at a time, not eating things that are bad. She does not want to restrict her self from things, but limit how much she eats of the bad stuff.

To this I have to say, she does not want it bad enough. I think she reads this blog, and I will find out soon I am sure, but it is the same thing I think about anyone who says they just cannot stick to a diet. I figured out the other day that it has been a year and a half since I last touched a soda. And it had been about a year before I touched that one. They make me sick to my stomach and feel like crap for days! I did not like feeling like that and so I put my foot down and stopped drinking them. I wanted it bad enough that I have not had another one and do not even crave them anymore.

I gave up processed sugar. I am currently remembering why I did since I cheated and had a snack sized Oreo McFlurry tonight and my stomach is so upset I feel like I want to puke it up... But people tell me all the time when I pass on coleslaw, or cookies, or cake, or candy, or barbeque sauce, that they would never be able to do it. Yes, you can, you just do not want to like I do not want to give up ice cream. I Miss My Collar Bone wrote about this the other day too and I have to agree with her about the fact that you could do all this too!

Slowly I am working my way to doing a Whole30 program like Paleo Girl (whom I went to high school with!) But I know I am not ready. It is not that I cannot stick to the plan and all that, it is the fact that I have a crazy obsession with bread, cheese, corn, and fruit that I am not ready to give these things up yet. Instead tonight I ate my last french fries. They were nasty, fake ones from McDonalds. I say fake ones because how many of you have lost fries in the car and when you find them days, weeks, or months later they still look the same??? Or... have you ever seen this experiment???

Those cannot be "real" fries... My favorite are actually Wendy's fries, but no more... No more fries for me. They are horrible things that are made out of starchy veggies and deep fried in crap.
