All it takes is...$207

The cost of a small Irresistible McDonald's French Fry: $1.00
The cost of a new pair of jeans one size larger than I expected: $37.99
The cost of a fridge full of this week's "diet of choice" groceries: $189.00
The cost to reveal myself as a liar to anyone willing to read on: $207.00
Yep. That is the low, low price to start a blog and build a website, filled with stories of the lies I tell myself to stay fat and (un)happy.

I'm full. Stuffed to the gills. Can't take another bite of the fists full of lies I've been feeding myself. How many could there be? you ask. Whew! Plenty. Here's an easy one...

Monday comes every week - that part isn't the lie. The lie is "on Monday, I'll eat according to the XYZ diet". Surely that will be the right diet for me. Everyone is raving about it. And, believe it or not, on Monday I do as I had planned. Tuesday I stray just a wee bit. Wednesday is a little further off the recommended eating schedule. Then, Thursday! Look out Thursday, here I come. Thursday is one day before Friday. And Friday may as well be the weekend. Obviously the writers of XYZ diet did not intend for anyone to adhere to such a plan through the weekend. At the end of the weekend we're back to Monday - welcome to the lie.

Sound familiar? I know it does. I'm a health and wellness professional. A fancy way to say that I'm a personal trainer. Which means that I meet people everyday that are struggling with the same "story telling", "fibbing", and "fabricating" that I too struggle with. We're all experiencing the same internal chatter.

I'm here to reveal my lies. To share with you one lie after another, with the hope that you too will share, and together we'll find a way to speak the truth. No more lies (or french fries).
