Despite the fact that I’ve already eaten breakfast (4 Thin Mints at 5 a.m., OJ and Cinnamon Crunch Toast cereal- total 550 calories), there are chocolate chip cookies in our office break room and I just feel like I HAVE to have one.  Why?

I’m not hungry, but it’s that feeling of "It’s not fair, why can’t I have one" and "I’d better get one before they run out".  Where does that come from?  Like I’ll never be able to have another chocolate chip cookie again?!?  Like it’s just not fair- everyone else can have one, but nobody gets fat like I do from eating them.  I just don’t understand.

I’m done with the ups and downs, the constant battle over food and my weight and being chubby.  I am reclaiming a healthy body come hell or high water, and I’ll be chronicling my journey here.  I have to hold myself accountable, and a journal seems to be the most logical thing for me to do to help in this body battle.
