Pop

Pop. A very powerful drug that I beleive I have had quite an addiction to at times. I successfully quit it though back in november for health and weight loss reasons. I definitely think it helped me lose 7 pounds total in november before thanskgiving! WOOT! Then I beleive that I relapsed about Christmas time. I'm quite bummed about it but every day I get myself a glass or can of pop and then feel physically and mentally awful. So I vow starting tomorrow (well today..since it is currently 12:40 a.m. :D) to not drink any and all pop. This includes diet and caffeine free. I think it will make me happier about myself, happier in general, and healthier in general. This vow is to never drink one sip of pop until I reach my goal weight. This is a vow I intend to keep. No more "relapsing." I can do it. I will not try to give up pop, I will give up pop....I found a quote the other day that is extremely motivational and it is from a movie I have never seen, but many people would say I am crazy for never having seen it. The movie is star wars and here is the quote. : "Do or do not, there is no try." Remember people when it comes to things in life that are hard, make a decision: do or do not. :)

Disability or Blessing?

I met a man (for the second time) yesterday who ended up telling me about a disability he had. It's a weird one. You see,....he can not taste sugars/sweets. He said that about five years ago there was an accident at the dentist's where the dentist actually messed up his nerve (something like that.) He said that it felt like he hit a nerve and his tongue felt like it was burning up. He figured it would heal fine and wouldn't be a big deal. But one day a while later he was making his favorite desert and was tasting it whilst in the process( as all great chefs do of course) and thought to himself that he just would have to start over that it just did not taste right. His wife tasted it and said it tasted just fine/normal. That is when he started to realise that he could not taste any sweets. His "sweet" taste buds must not work any more.

While most people would feel EXTREMELY sad and sorry for this man, I was left with a feeling of great jelousy. I thought that if I had this disability that it would be more of a blessing than a curse. I wondered how much easier weight loss might be if I just simply could not taste sweets. My greatest enemy in the world is chocolate(JK) and if I couldn't taste chocolate.....OH, how easier life would be. I Wonder....If I just pretend that I can't taste all the sweets would that be as effective? I just might try it.
Too bad I actually CAN. Bummer. :P :P

Blogging!

I wonder how many people will actually read this Blog. Everyone i know in the world (it seems) has one of these blog dealios and I really wanted to do one. Peer pressure? Perhaps. But it does sound like fun.

For those of you who don't know, my name is Megan and I am 18 years old. I've been overweight half my life. My weightloss journey started in May of 2009 and I have lost about 30 pounds.
This blog will be about the struggles and joys I go through losing weight. I WILL lose the rest of the weight. Please stay tuned. :)
