I GAINED FIVE POUNDS IN A WEEK!!!  I am up Eleven Pounds in the past 3 months!  For the past 5 months I thought I could figure out the food on my own.  I actually believed I needed to figure it out on my own.  I convinced myself solving the food mystery all by my little self was the key to long term success.

When my car needs the oil changed I take it to the garage.  Why?  Because they know all about the engine and I just know how to push the button to start it.  When my hair gets crazy I go visit my girl.  Why?  Because she can cut it without making me look like a rebellious preschooler.  So why in the world would I believe I can figure out the food without guidance?  I wouldn’t create theories about changing my oil and then try them to see what works.  After all I don’t like to get dirty and a car would be expensive to replace.  And I wouldn’t watch a YouTube video about cutting my own hair so I see if I could save a couple of dollars.  I mean I’m barely coordinated enough to blow it dry by myself let alone use a sharp object around my face and head!

So this morning I owned up to the fact that I obviously don’t know what the hell I’m doing when it comes to eating healthy.  Newsflash self ……you’re not a dietician.  I hired a trainer earlier this year when I admitted I didn’t know what the hell to do at the gym.  Now I’m strong and do crazy shit every week I never would have dreamed to try thanks to the trainer.  Now I’ll lean on the food plan so I can feel awesome and take control of this piece of the puzzle.

Day One is in the books and successful and I feel good.  On to Day Two.  Wish me luck.
