Food sucks. I mean, it's awesome.

I don't like the fact that it's so good. I wish I could just eat a pill every day and have it be the exact number of calories I need, and that I wouldn't need OR WANT to eat anything else.

I have recently started exercising twice a week. It's great! I feel awesome when I'm done, I am energized, and I've started losing inches like crazy (not so much weight). But as soon as I miss one workout, I gain inches AND WEIGHT. I just want to be able to eat normal food and work out a bit, and hopefully lose weight. I don't want to eat everything in the kitchen. I don't want to work out daily as to become some kind of slave to the gym.

I know that my food/overeating issues relate to stress. When I am stressed, or when I am feeling down, I like to eat. And it's not really all that much. Just maybe some mac/cheese or a glass of milk, or maybe it's that I prefer a hamburger to grilled chicken. Whatever. That's why I am not *gaining* weight. But I'm not losing it either. The reason I gained it all in the first place is from eating out. Yes, its' true. Eating out is not only expensive, but portions are WAY too big, and the food is WAY too fattening. If you just eat a reasonable amount at home, and avoid restaurants, you can maintain a healthy weight. It's just getting back to healthy that's really difficult.

And I hate mirrors.
