Breaking out of Chocolate Prison

I did the impossible yesterday by avoiding chocolate and all candy for an entire day.  This has become my prison, the mid day candy dip.  I'll only have a few M&M's turns into a handful of M&M's and a couple pieces of dark chocolate to wash it down. 
To me working in an office brings about good and bad decisions all day with food.  I only ate an english muffin this morning! Or, wow another birthday cake down the hatch... I work in a stressful business and I have to admit I turn to food to get my mind off of the next issue that I immediately have to resolve or to wind down from the last emergency.  And then I resolve to feeling fat at the end of the day and hoping I'll do better tomorrow. Yesterday was a good day though, I avoided all candy, did a small workout at home, and avoided the couch a little more than the day before.  So here it is folks, I had a good one yesterday and I'm striving to make that two in a row, cheers!

Fat today and everyday

I sat on my couch all night last night and did nothing.  Nothing at all.  Nothing but eat leftover Chinese food, caramel corn, and thinking about how I didn't go to the gym again and that I felt overwhelmingly FAT.  This morning I woke up and believe it or not, my problem hasn't changed.  Yes, I Sarah Miller, feel fat today.  Thinking about how starting a blog could change my life after watching Julie and Julia last weekend, I decided after several horrible ideas the only thing that I let affect my life negatively EVERY day is my weight.  So here I am, this is my blog.  I'm doing this to fight against my fat, and to find a new purpose in what has lately felt like a void.  I've never been able to change my body in a positive way without having a team to depend on me.  So whoever you are out there, you are my team as I start this journey to change my life for the better.  Cheers to being fat today, but hoping for a better tomorrow.
