Countdown!

I mentioned in my Thankspigging blog that I was going to go back over my past blogs to regain that enthusiasm for a changed me.  In my first blog ever in blog-land I mentioned why I named my blog Going Against the Grain Still.  Do you remember?  Me either, but I was reminded when I read Day1.  It just so happened that the recent edition of AARP (my husband’s magazine…not mine!  Oh, who am I kidding?) has an article called “Weight Loss:  Mood & Food.  Can’t lose weight?  Your personality may be to blame.”  YEAH, it really isn’t my fault!!!  Whoo hoo.  “So impulsive individuals might eat less if they plan their meals in advance.”  Now what have I been saying to myself???  Easier said/ written than done.  The article said that "impulsive people weigh about 22 pounds more than those who are cautious."  TWENTY-TWO POUNDS MORE!!!!  It doesn't say that cautious people are skinny, but that impulsive people weigh on average 22 pounds MORE.  yikes.  I'm impulsive.  I'm spontaneous.  I'm free.  I'm FAT because of it!  Now that is just not right.  I don't know how to be cautious.  Ask my Mom/ Hubby/ Child/ Friend/ Acquaintance.  If Strawberry wants it; Strawberry gets it!  I wish I could buy a skinnier body....nope, not doing surgery to get it.... so don't tell me that!  For now I'll be happy that 15 pounds are gone forever.  My next goal is getting rid of those pesky 7 pounds so that this impulsive Strawberry will be minus the 22 pounds mentioned in that old magazine!  The countdown has begun.
