I think I am the most nutritionally educated fat girl out there. People make the mistake of assuming I am ignorant when it comes to calories and fat grams. Don't judge a book by its cover. Or a fat girl by her flab. I know what I should be eating. I just don't eat what I should be eating. You know?
I read labels. I try to eat high protein and high fiber products. When I buy groceries, I don't buy junk. Of course, if junk gets brought into my house from other sources... I am a weak woman. I consume the junk! But, back to labels. I read them. I know what makes a "healthy" meal. Believe it or not, our meals are healthy. They are not fried. There are vegetables on the plate. Lean meat. High fiber carbs. Yadda-yadda.
The problem is not knowledge. It is my heart. My heart longs for the taste of chocolate. I want it. I can tell myself all day long how bad it is for my body, and my heart still longs for it. How do I get the head knowledge down into my heart? How do I really have freedom from this addiction?

I am the same way! However, I do buy some junk food with intentions of ME not eating it...but in the end it sure was good lol! My worst habit is watching TV and thinking I have to have something while I am watching tv. I dont know why but I associate TV with food. Be strong, you can do it!
It is incredibly hard to deny yourself of the things that feel so good...and food feels VERY good, especially chocolate. I hear Dark Chocolate is good for you, but like everything else in moderation. Bah! Moderation.
My weakness is cookies warm out of the oven. Its horrible!
Hang in there :)
I completely understand. I am one of the most educated fat girls also. I can tell people what to eat and how to work out. I know all that stuff. I just don't do it myself. Back in the day, I was fit and thin, but healthy. Too bad I can't follow my own advice. too bad the "bad food" calls my name and I just love it.
I found you from Tonyas blog. I can really relate to what you write. And I am totally addicted to Chocolate too! and cake. and cookies...and...and....you know.
I don't know what I am going to do in a few months when I have the twins, because I use them as an excuse to eat. The truth is I would eat even if I wasn't preggers.
I needed to share that.

Goodness Gracious! Are you me?! I am as educated as you when it comes to nutrition, but I am still a sugar addict and have the NEED to taste chocolate or Oreo Cakesters, it is just my heart. I know it's wrong and not healthy BUT... there is always a BUT...
