My New Year's Resolution

So...It's been a couple of weeks since the new year, and I'm sure the two people still reading my blog are wondering why I haven't blogged about my goals for the coming year.  Well, I'm keeping it simple this year.  After reading the Portia di Rossi book, I decided I'm going to stop obsessing over the number on my scale.  Instead, I'm going to just try to be more moderate about my eating.  In di Rossi's book, she talks about how, during her rehabilitation, she just listened to her body (which is what we're always telling Jacob so he won't have an accident), and what she meant was, when she was hungry, she would eat.  When she was full, she'd stop.  She would exercise because her body craved it.  If she ate something super greasy, she noticed she didn't want any more.  So I'm going to give it a try.  I may end up grossly obese.  But I think being less obsessed with whatever diet I'm trying will make me a lot happier.  I've tried it for about a week now.  So far, I've actually exercised twice, which is two more times than I did for the entire months of November and December.  I'm making an effort not to have seconds just because something tasted good.  I'm not denying myself of desserts, because usually after a few days of that I break down and eat 8000 calories worth of chocolate.  I'm keeping gum around so I won't snack when I'm bored.  But mostly, I'm just living my life without thinking of what the next meal needs to be so I won't be fat.  That's my goal.  So next time you see me, if I look fatter, please don't ask if I'm pregnant.  I'm just chubby.  But I'm hoping that instead of being chubby I'll just be healthy.
