This New Year’s I decided to give up sweets in an effort to lose weight. Despite going to the gym\u00a0consistently last Fall, \u00a0I didn’t lose\u00a0many pounds so this year, I decided to give up the whoopee pies, candy bars and other sugary treats I love so much.<\/p>\n

Things were going pretty well until I came to the realization that my work-out regimen and giving up sweets didn’t give\u00a0me the results I was hoping for: I’d only lost a few pounds and it was mid-February. It\u00a0occured to me that I needed to radically change my diet to really lose weight. After all, if the definition of insanity is dong the same thing over and over again and expecting different results, making a small change in my diet was too close to the same old thing to ever\u00a0come up with a different outcome.<\/p>\n

Everything was going great with my newfound realization until I told a friend at work about the situation.\u00a0He was clearly not in good shape\u00a0but that didn’t stop him from\u00a0launching into a long list of suggestions and improvements I should implement to get into super shape. It wasn’t long before I regretted bringing up the subject. I had no one to blame but myself.<\/p>\n

And that’s when I had my second great realization: I’d Rather Talk to Myself About This.<\/p>\n
