Why a blog???

Everyone seems to blog when they either have exciting news to share (like a product) or if they are going through a rough patch and need someplace to 'vent'.  I fall into the later of the two.  Not that I don't have great news or great products to share (hello?? check out K.B. Creations on FB :) ) but I thought blogging would help me continue the internal conversations I have that I immediately shut up.  They tend to go something like this...

• As I stand in front of the cupboard at 9:17pm looking for something, I hear myself say, "what??? you aren't hungry, what are you doing here"  As soon as that thought comes into my head, it immediately gets mumbled and I grab that bag of chocolate chips and have a few.  5 minutes later, I'm back at the same cupboard and before my head can even start the rational thoughts, that voice is quickly shut off and I hear nothing but mumbled.  Any thoughts of "it's late, have water" or "you will be sorry tomorrow you have that" are QUICKLY drown out.  I FORCE myself not to hear them.

Why don't I ever continue that conversation???  Why do I self indulge?  I have had that conversation so often in my head, I know how it will play out before I even approach that cupboard.

So now, I will have that conversation.  I will pratice that conversation so that when 9:17pm comes around, I will not shut up that voice.  We will HAVE a conversation.

So here's practicing...

• Ok Betsy, here are the facts that YOU DO know.  When you work out and when you eat right, you ALWAYS feel better.  There has never been a time where eating right and excersizing has NOT made you feel good.  I can not argue that point.
• When you eat crappy food, in excess, YOU DO feel like crap after or the next day.  Another point I can't argue.
• I tend to be all in or all out kind of gal.  So I think,  I KNOW I just need to stay away from high fat, high sugar foods.  I need to learn moderation and until I do or can, I need to stay away.

I'm not sure if I will share this with others.  Part of me is embarassed.  But part of me knows ME and if I don't share, then I will not have someone hold me accountable.  So why not JUST share....

So....I'll share.  I ask for kindness :)  But most of all, please ask me how my journey is going.  I'm not sure how often I'll blog or if you would be interested in it or not....

It's 7:24pm....and I will no longer wait for change.  I will MAKE IT HAPPEN!  One 9:17pm at a time...
