The first step is to admit you have a problem

Okay, so I don't mean to keep obsessing over the fact that my jeans don't fit. After talking it over with Andy, I realized the last time I wore my jeans were the night we got married. That was only 3 weeks ago! Andy said it was the mountain that we climbed that ruined me from exercise. And while I like that Andy has blamed the mountain instead of our (yes, our because Andy contributes to my madness~what a loving husband) bad habits. So I thought if I wrote some of the bad things I have done that have caused the major problem in my world (I think if this is my "major" problem, I'm doing pretty good. There are a lot of people out in our world that have things way worse) maybe it would help me getting on to road to being healthier.

Just a side note: I am very knowledgeable in the area of how to be healthy and fit. I'm not someone that doesn't know how to be healthy. And I think that just makes it worse. Why can't I just have the will power to make myself follow a healthy lifestyle? I partly know the answer to this.

1: I've always had a positive self-image of myself.
2: I don't like to exercise. In the past when I've been successful at it, it's because there was a social aspect that I enjoyed. We just happened to be exercising while socializing
3: Growing up I never had to worry about being a little thicker. I was skinny.

So, here I go: My name is Daisie and I'm a junk food junkie. Here is a list of my bad habits.

1. eating coldstone ice cream
2. eating candy (especially chocolate)
3. no going to the gym
4. loafing around the house and not being active
5. playing the playstation and DS
6. watching all the reality TV
7. chips and dip
8. oatmeal cream pies
9. Welch's strawberry soda
10. eating fried foods at restaurants
11. eating pasta with white sauce
12. eating fried foods with the pasta that has white sauce
13. sunflower seeds (all the salt can't be good for me)
14. vitamin water XXX flavor (I know it's water but it probably has a ton of calories)
15. Alcoholic drinks (even though I might only have one, it's just empty calories)
16. popcorn and butter at the movies with peanut M&M's and a really big soda (sprite)
17. Chocolate shakes and fries from McDonald's

Okay, I think that might be it. At least I hope so. I have to tell you as I was making the list, in my head I was thinking "Gosh Daisie, no wonder your jeans don't fit. Look how you eat!". And I'm sure there were a lot of you thinking the same exact thing. I'm hoping this will help. That being said, we still have our trip to San Diego and what do you think the chances are that I'll eat healthy there? I'm going to try very hard. Maybe eat more salads when I go out to dinner and eat more fruit. You're going to love this. Today I went to the store to get some things and I got strawberries and grapes. BUT, I also go the chocolate dip for the strawberries. Dang it! I just can't get it completely right.
