How's this for accountability - everybody has been bringing in their leftover Christmas/New Year's treats, and I've been grazing on them all day. Ugh.

Chocolate is a huge weakness of mine. I need to learn how to be satisfied with a taste. But the truth is, I enjoy nothing so much as being very full. It's like a drug. maybe more exercise is key - it feels gross to exercise on a full stomach. But therein lies another problem. Those mystical endorphins and feel-good rush everybody touts? Never felt it while exercising. Never. I feel tired, sweaty, breathless, and pained. Hmmm. Is it because I'm so out of shape that I can't reach that level, but if I suffer through the crap long enough, I will? If that's the case, I've never been able to endure it long enough for it to feel good.

Heh - it's a lot like dieting, when you think about it. It takes months, when you're as obese as I am, to see a real difference. Months of not feeling full.

Baby steps! I need a non-perishable, yet good for me snack that I can keep in my office so that I stop grazing on chocolate. Any suggestions?
