While shopping on Sunday I realized something really big!!!  When I first started BuddySlim I thought I knew all the tricks and shortcuts to losing weight.

I’m proud to say I’ve learned such an incredible amount of information being here with you all.

While shopping I noticed how my husband and I shopped.  We stuck to the perimeters of the store.  A year ago, I would have made a mad rush to the bakery, then deli, then proceeded to the boxed dinners, chips, pop, and my most favorite the frozen section.

Unbelievably we spent most of our time in the produce, then off to the meat (not frozen only fresh) picked up some juice and off we went.  I did slip up and buy a small package of danish which I later regretted

Sad to say I haven’t even reached one single goal, but I  feel so much stronger and so much more educated on the entire eating/exercising system we all need to follow. 

Unfortunately there are those of us who let ourselves go (for so many reasons) and there are those of us who are cursed with slow metabolisms, or maybe our medication slows everything down and causes weight gain.  Some of us are affected by our age (I feel like I’m struck with all of the above) but you know what buddys?  It doesn’t matter what our struggle or reason for being overweight may be.

What counts is that we all realize our problem first off….learn how to change the problem….include a large support system (friends /family) ….then begin our new journey into the healthy eating.

In the last couple of days I’ve watched what I’ve eaten, being very careful (except for that bad bad danish) and I know I feel better. 

Hope everyone has a happy Tuesday.  The sun is shining so bright here in Michigan, I hope your sun is shining on each and every one of you!!

Enter into a venture when you have sufficient faith to see it through.

Suppose one of you wants to build a tower. Will he not first sit down and estimate the cost to see if he has enough money to complete it?
