Excuses...

So, I am an amazing excuse maker. Seriously. If something is my fault, or I don't want to do something, I make excuses. I am also an awesome complainer. I was told once in high school that I needed to quit complaining about every thing in my life. I am not particularly proud of either of these things.

I found a quote today and it says,

 "The only thing standing between you and your goal is the crap story you keep telling yourself as to why you cant achieve it"

So basically Pinterest is the best ever, because that is where I found that quote. I do not ever exercise because I always tell myself that it is too far away or too much work or I have too little time. I am always eating chips or chocolate because I keep telling myself that its just one time or that I don't have any other food. I've come to realize that it's all a bunch of bull.

So, today, I went through my apartment and took all of my chocolate and chips and crackers and frosting and candy and hid them... in my room, under my desk. That might not have been the best place to put them, but out of sight, out of mind, right? I also worked on homework today and kept television watching down to a single show. (normally I watch 3 or 4 shows or movies, I have that much time!) I also went to the gym. For an entire hour. I realized how much I miss it, and I also realized today how much bigger my body has gotten since high school. Not cool.

I'm not going to promise that I won't ever eat sweets or junk food again, or that I will go to the gym everyday, or that I won't watch excessive television. BUT I will promise to stop making excuses. Today.
