I’m still trying to figure this whole need to lose weight and build muscle thing. What I do know is that I can not continue to be fat!! Its crazy because I have this fat in my waist that extends to my back and it is so uncomfortable to walk or even stand; how do overweight people do it every day of their lives I am 186 pounds and extremely uncomfortable in my own skin. I know that am breaking this food addiction thing and living the life I should be living at 33 years old.

I am learning a lot about obesity, All the people who judge overweight people and say things like "just stop eating, don’t you know you are hurting yourself". Those people don’t understand the relationship with food that people have over time. Food has been my friend many nights…it doesn’t whine, it doesn’t complain, it makes you feel good and wants nothing in return. So I fully understand the struggle of the obese, for many food is the only friend they have known.

BUT, yes in order to live a Long healthy life, the time must come that you have to release your BFF (FOOD) and get that body movin and groovin; that is where I am right now….The one thing that makes me feel extremely happy at the end of a hard day which includes a total daily commute of five hours, dealing with four children; running a city agency in a crazy political environment; helping my husband run his business; attempting to cook and clean after 7pm..yikes! My one pleasure is spending some time with my Chocolate Chip Mint Ice Cream Friend and an Iced Cold Corona! I know this must be adjusted because in 2006 when I got married I weighed 160 pounds and loved nothing more than to finish work and hit the gym while the kids hung out and played in the kids area…..and now I’m 186 and love nothing more than to eat ice cream; the difference a year makes!! I have to just acknowledge that feelings are real….when I workout real hard for a full week and eat right my body starts to crave all that is bad! the fat does not like to lose!! Listen, in the end I got to do what I got to do, because I want to look like Adela Garcia…..
