What does the title of the blog mean to me?

Today, I realized that I lie to myself.  Yesterday, I decided to download MyFitnessPal to keep track of what I eat.  Keeping track has always been difficult for me.  I don't like to take the time, but I know it is important for weightloss success.  Since, it was my first day watching what I ate it was very difficult.  I began the day putting everything in and was keeping on track with the Slimfast plan.  (I choose to do Slimfast because I don't have time to prepare and cook because I work and go to school full-time)  Well, I am confessing that what I auctually ate and what I logged in MyFitnessPal don't entirely match up.  What is missing from MyFitnessPal is two cupcakes, and a 6" Philly Cheesesteak and fries.  I made cupcakes for my classmates and of course couldn't resist having one (or two).  Then, by the end of my class at 8:30 p.m. I was starving and stopped at my Uncle's restaurant and got the Philly and fries.

This moment when I realized that I couldn't bring myself to add those splurges into the food tracker was an Ah-ha! moment for me.  I constantly do this to myself.... Make a commitment to eating healthy and then sabotage myself by lying to myself.  Needless to say that is why I am beginning a blog today.  My goal is to write a brief entry about my day and be completely 100% honest. 

Today, I did not eat a cupcake even though there were two left.
I CAN WITH 100% HONESTY say that today my food tracker and what went in my mouth are exactly the same.  I ended up coming in below my calorie goal for today...I think it was punishment for yesterday.  The next few days I am only going to focus on being honest.  If I splurge or resist temptation doesn't matter.  What matters is that I own up to the choices I make on how I treat my body.
