Jenny's +/- Diet Plan

I have had 5 big heartbreaks in my life, some had to do with boys, some with life's general heartaches. Those who know me well will probably sit & try to figure out what they all are, but the truth is, no one but myself & omniscient Diety could know the extent of them. All of my major weight gains & losses revolve around these 5 big heartbreaks. So, in essence I'm saying, I'm the epitome of an emotional eater. I don't know if it was the school offering pizza parties for academic achievement  or my roommates telling me all sorrow can be healed with chocolate, but I somehow in my mind equate success & failure alike with food. I succeeded, YAY! Let's have ice cream! or I suck. Let's have ice cream. That's pretty much me in a nutshell. Mimi always said "there's a separate compartment in your stomach for ice cream" & let's be honest, I've been telling myself that my whole life. Not blaming you, Mimi (*hugs*) just saying that's what I've been doing.

So after stressing MUCHO yesterday about my diet plan, I decided to look past the diet plans into the core of healthy living & what really works for me & here's what I came up with:

I know it obviously doesn't solve all of my problems, but it's a starting place. It won't shock my system in the extreme & it doesn't overwhelm me to consider executing this plan. In fact, I think I will feel excited to get my +1 reward each day. Your thoughts about this plan?!?

Also, I saw this on my Facebook feed this morning & I thought, "could there be any better way to express my feeling today?" Yesterday, I had a bit of a battle with my anger demon. I think it's wonderful & necessary to let yourself feel emotions good or bad, but my demon's been popping out too often lately so I needed a little reminder this morning to "fake it till I make it."

Until tomorrow...
