ok, so no more joking around

It's March - two months into this thing. I HAVE to start living up to my new year's resolution.

Today, I am officially old. I have...wait for it...a...hemorrhoid. This is caused by...wait for it...being overweight.

Why do I persist in doing this to myself? What do I get out of being big? Is it something about putting on a layer of protection because I had a screwed up childhood? I used to sleep around for validation, but now I'm married, and wouldn't want to anymore anyway, so I substitute chocolate for one-night-stands? Whatever it is, I need to figure it out, and quit it. I can quit it before I figure it out, though. I'm a firm believer in naval-staring (witness my ten+ years of being a Landroid) but too much of it can just lead to a backache and blurry vision.

So ok. I've been doing more with fiber, ahem, obviously, and eating whole grains, etc. I hardly ever eat white rice, and haven't had white bread in ages. But I need to start eating LESS of everything. Not just the same amount, but more healthy. I need to start limiting my portions. It's gonna suck, but whatever. I'll manage. I need to. My butt is begging me to.

Sigh.
