Fatness BE GONE!

Please allow me to berate myself here. One of my all-time frustrations (yes, I do have quite a few) in life is my weight and my inability to shed off some pounds for a healthier me.

Why is it so terribly and achingly difficult to lose weight? WHY? WHY? WHY? Because I have a former assistant chef for a father and a future chef for a brother. Well, yes, that's probably the main reason why. It's nearly impossible to have super delicious food out of reach within our household. And well, when the food's yummy, they tend to call out your name and the next thing you know, you're having second and third servings of whatever's on the table.

I know it's all about self-control, but there's also that excruciating thought of needing to exercise on a regular basis. Seriously, how difficult is it to commit to a daily one-hour (at the least!) exercise routine? Well, in my case, it's extremely difficult.

I was so happy to have gotten the Wii Fit Plus...and honest to goodness, I was exercising for an hour or two on a daily basis. I lost five pounds in two weeks, I think. (Awesome accomplishment, if I say so myself!) But then since I've gotten some "extra work", that's basically taken up most, if not all, of my workout time. SUCKS. So I'm like sitting on a chair, in front of a computer instead of doing my aerobics and steps and yoga and hula-hoop exercises (and definitely so much more!). At the same time, mother and I would go for one-two hour walk around the village at least thrice a week. But now what? WORK has taken over my health hours.

I've been contemplating on taking diet pills, but of course mother would not allow me to do so. It worked out well while I was is in college, but I suppose those diet pills aren't to be trusted now that a bunch of people have gotten sick from them. Ugh. For the last week, I've been doing the no-rice diet...but what's the point when I walk over to Sbarro for a big rectangle of meat lasagna for dinner once a week? Earlier today (yesterday), I've thought about how I'd probably be able to live with Cheez Whiz and Fiber Skyflakes. I wonder if it'll help me keep my weight down..

I know it still all boils down to actually working out and getting some EXERCISE. I ought to make time for workouts again, even if it's just on the Wii. I need to really work on my schedule as it is all about time management. Le sigh.

I need to lose 25 pounds to be in my medically-approved shape. Come on, mamon, you can do it! Work or workout? Choose wisely, self.
