Wii Waste.

I bought myself a Wii about 3 years ago, and justified spending the money, because not only can a Wii help you lose weight, but it's fun. I played with my Wii for about 3 weeks, then I forgot about it.

For my birthday in 2009, I asked for the Wii Fit because I thought I'd use it all the time, renewing my purpose for purchasing a Wii. I'd use the Wii Fit to exercise, and it would not seem like exercise, because I'm playing a video game. I asked for the Wii Fit, and I was ecstatic when someone gave me one for my birthday.

Well, my birthday is February 21st, and it is now 2010. Another birthday has passed, and along with another year, I have gained another dress size. I was hoping for a fit mii, but I neglected that goal, and became plain old lazy. I think I should give my Wii another chance. Don't you?

Wii Waste changed to Wii Use

My waist, I shall lose!

Are you on a diet? OMG you must be hungry!

What's the term people refer to when women are grumpy??? Oh right. I guess you could say, when I'm hungry I become a (insert the B word here). I wouldn't call myself a b*tch, but society has deemed that word appropriate for usage whenever a woman acts unhappy, bossy, stern, confrontational, or especially, grumpy. Anytime we try to eat healthy or control our weight, we are on a "diet." When someone sees me order a salad with chicken, even if that salad is bacon and crouton filled with full fat ranch dressing and 1000 calories, often the response is, "Are you on a diet?"

I loathe the word "diet." When I hear "diet," I think of deprivation. I think of how hungry I feel all day, when I am on a diet!! No one likes a hungry girl (especially the hungry girl herself).

Finding a balance between our cravings, lifestyle, dress sizes, and blue jeans is a process, and from personal experience, I know how difficult this process can be. This is my log of daily successes, failures, insights, and private thoughts shared with you. I hope you can relate and add to my experiences because the more we share, the closer we are to figuring out how to have the body we want without feeling deprived. From now on, no more diets! Kiss that word goodbye.
