So, I lately (like the whole month of September) I have been soooo horrible with my diet. Eating out, eating beef, eating pretty much whatever I want. (Bad Thasanee, Bad!) So today as I recover from some food poisoning (yea..the good bacteria in yogurt became bad bacteria…) I was trying to figure out why the heck I always lose myself and just eat. I am in the same boat as Caity because I am such an emotional eater, bored eater, eat cause its fun..type of person. So I complied a short list of ways to prevent myself from indulging..essentially to Learn Self Control.

1. Everytime I think about eating something I shouldn’t eat (like cake, cookies, burgers, etc) I will think of him.

I do not want to look like him. Even the thought that I could…scares me. You may laugh but there are people out there who look like that…shivers…

2. Everytime I feel a little weak I’ll think about my wedding, especially my dress because when I got it in the mail, it was to big. I want to keep it that way. Even if I have to go through all that drama again to return it, at least I know I’m returning it because its too BIG not too SMALL.

3. Think about me being pregnant at my size. As shallow as it sounds, I want to look like Angelina Jolie when I’m preggo..She had TWINS and she still looked hot.

C’mon..who doesn’t want to be preggo and still look like hat?

4. Think about the risk of diabetes in my family. All I have to do is think of my grandmother who has detiorated very quickly from complications to diabetes in less than ten years. She has renel failure, an amputated leg and is progressively getting worse. And she isn’t even 60 yet. I don’t want to end up like her.. at all.

5. Think of how healthy, active and wonderful I will be if I don’t stray. I mean c’mon, maybe one day I want to run in a triathalon. If Jennifer Lopez can do it, then I definitely need to do it. Cause she’s cool (wait..does she still have a coolness factor..speaking of which she’s another hot babe who was pregnant with twins…damn you woman!)

So, while trying to keep it light but serious too, I really need to find the self control. If anything, just so I can add more years to my life and be able to be there for my children when they are born..
