Letter

Dear Weight loss efforts,

You are burning me out. I am getting tired of counting calories and waking up at 5am to exercise. I am tired of worrying about the hidden calories in restaurant food, I'm tired of eating a piece of Pumpkin bread and gaining a pound. I'm tired of feeling guilty if I don't exercise or have a Hershey's kiss. I'm just tired and this blog is suffering.

Love (yes, love you even though I am tired of you),
Amy

I did calorie counting the first week this summer and I just can't keep that up. I like the concept of it...but its too much work. I have decided to just make better choices. No fast food/soda and choose stuff that I know is healthier. Most of us have been doing this a long time...we know what we should be eating. Now if I'm grocery shopping or eating at a restaurant that actually lists calories...I'll read it and use it to make decisions... but I dont write it down. If its all too much...maybe you should cut one thing out of your worry column...then add it back in when it gets more manageable. I wish you strenth either way... You are doing great!!!
