Food; I try to resist

I don't know about you, but getting healthier always means I can't enjoy the foods i love. And i love food. I would marry food if I could, I would let my self be obese except i wouldn't :]
I know that there are a lot of ways to incorporate the foods you like without overdoing it. But it seems to me that I can't get what i love without overdoing it. When was the last time you only ate the serving size in a bag of chips?? been awhile huh. I try so hard but fail all the time. I've even tried wheat pasta and ewwwwww it was gross. SUCH a big change.

Some things I always cut out are
1. Fast Food
2. Junk food
3. Soda (any kind, dark or light)

Those seem to be the only foods that contribute to my weight gain.

Okay all I've been talking about is what's good to get thin. But there are things that matter, like what makes you happy? I went to a counselor some years ago and she figured I was just pessimistic, and I am, so she told me to write down several things that I am grateful for everyday. I did this and I was a lot happier. It actually makes a difference in your life.
Today I am grateful
1. That school is finally over
2. For sleep
3. For utilities, especially water
4. That I have two living parents
5. That my dogs are always happy to see me

These are my dogs. They are King Charles Cavalier Spaniels, and I simply adore them. Kylie is the reddish brown dog, she is 3 years old and Charlie the blenhiem is just barely a year old now. This picture was taken last year when I first got him. I will upload a more recent one of them, I don't have a picture of them together, not good ones anyway. So these are my babies, they often piss me off and bring me joy. I am hoping that Kylie is pregnant (crossing my fingers). Been waiting a long time so that will make me very happy.

Kind of got side tracked there but there are some things that make me smile. Do more of smiling and less of frowning and more likely you'll outlive a turtle :]
