Dilemma...

"I eat because i am unhappy.

I am unhappy because I eat.

Its a vicious cycle."

For the last few months I have felt a little like Fat Bastard in Austin Powers. I am sure all of you know the part in the movie when he says this, and maybe some of you may have felt like this too in your life. For some reason, nothing is going right with my weight and body. I have been in training for 2 months now and I would have thought that I would have lost some lbs., but NO! I have even cut back on my dessert intake (a lot actually) and still NOTHING! I have limited my "nectar of the gods" to maybe 2 a week, and, NADA! It is frustrating!

I have to clarify. I do not eat because I am unhappy with my life. In fact, I couldn't be happier. I married my best friend, my motivator, my example, my competitor, my partner in crime and my perfect match in February! I (we) have have the most beautiful, intelligent, quirky, athletic, incredible and funny Golden Retriever whom I love and adore! I have been blessed with an amazing family who are my best friends, and an even better family-in-law than I could have ever wished or asked for! I have loving friends, good health and the gospel!

So what's the problem? Where is the unhappiness coming from?

YES! It actually stems from eating. Apparently it is true that you get curvy when you get married. Who knew? We have continued the same routine from our dating life to our married life so it really doesn't make sense. I am unhappy because of my weight gain...which is unexplainable, and because my efforts aren't showing a turning point...thus making me eat more to drown out my sorrows! HA- vicious cycle in the flesh!

If anyone has a kick off diet plan that would help me get going, please pass it along!
