What I learned this summer…

I read a similiar list on bosoxfan’s (thanks) blog and thought what a good way to reflect on my journey thus far this summer. 

I have learned…

• People will always try to beat you down. It’s up to you to lift yourself up.
• No one can save you, except yourself.
• You have to walk 6 miles to walk off a big mac!!!!
• McDonald’s doesn’t taste good, thus is a huge waste of calories.
• You don’t have to eat to be happy.
• The food will be there later.  It really is not gonna go anywhere.  No need to eat it all now.  Really, put the twinky down!
• Binging causes problems, it doesn’t solve anything. 
• Nothing tastes as good- as watching the number on the scale fall- feels.
• I’m not as fat as I think.
• I can do anything I set my mind too.
• I can run.
• It isn’t so hard to lose weight, you just have to stop eating, enjoy hunger sometimes, and eat healthfully…Oh! and exercise!
• The way to stop cravings is to stop eating the evil crap you crave.  Your body will eventually begin to crave healthier stuff…seriously.
• I can do a boys push up.  It’s just one, but it is one more then I could do before.
• I can run a half mile.
• McDonald’s and Hostess 100 Calorie pack cupcakes are the devil!!!!   
• Weighing everyday is not as crazy as you think. 
• I can run 5 mins and not be winded!!!
• I have  muscles.
• How good it feels to fit into a pair of shorts that were previously too tight.
• How good it feels to look in the mirror and realize that indeed my ass is smaller!
• I can do whatever I put my mind too!

More later…
