Week 2: My Motivation For Change

This week I made changes by letting my friends know that I am doing this project and that the hardest part about giving up sweets is that I always get yogurt with all of them. They were very supportive and they would suggest doing something else when we all wanted to get yogurt. Yesterday I went to 21 choices with my friends and I bought Kombucha for $4.50 instead, which is more expensive than yogurt, but it is not a sweet. Also, I was very conscientious about how often I ate sweets. Sometimes, a friend would offer me chocolate but I thought about this project and I would say no. But sometimes I would give in. I bought frozen yogurt from the grocery store because I thought eating yogurt at home would be less expensive than eating with my friends. But that was not a good idea. I want to give up sweets because I know that sweets are bad, unhealthy and I am addicted. It makes me feel and look like crap. I also want to change this habit with my friends and surround our time to gossip around something healthy rather than eating yogurt together. We always talk about doing healthy things together so we won't be that group of fat girls that do fat girl things.
