Rich chocolate, hugging a layer of caramel (hard enough to hold it’s posture, but soft enough to smoothly sink your teeth into), sitting gently upon a third base layer of crunchy, sugar cookie - oh the dream that is my aunt’s famous ‘caramel squares’. What about my old roommates perfectly salted, fresh, stove-top-popped popcorn (which I later tweaked with melted sugar to make my own kettle corn)… OR FRIES! ANY FRIES! Sweet potato fries, wedges, fries with drizzled cheese and bacon on top, or even just normal fries… UGH AND PIZZA! Oh my gosh - don’t start me on pizza! Stuffed crust pizza… Hawaiian, stuffed crust pizza! Hawaiian, stuffed crust pizza with a side of cheesy bread sticks! Hawaiian, stuffed crust pizza with a side of cheesy breadsticks and an ‘Oreo madness’ from TGI FRIDAYs as desert.
HELPPPPPP!!!! Remember that last post I wrote about motivating yourself to be the ‘you’ that you always wanted to be?! TO JUST DO IT? Yeah….yeah… yeah… that’s all well and good when you’re just talking about it – but what about when your desire is to be healthier, and you step out from in front of your computer screen into the world, and the aroma of everything delicious hits your sense like a brick to the face?! YOU CAN’T IGNORE A BRICK THAT JUST HIT YOU IN THE FACE, CAN YOU?! ESPECIALLY WHEN THAT BRICK IS MADE OUT OF CHEESY STUFFED CRUST PIZZA!! Hi… MY name is Carly Coutts and I have a problem. I LOVE FOOD. Cue entire circle of addicts: "Hiiii Carlyyyyy” I love food, and I love being social, and I love margaritas and I often don’t know how to stay home when everyone is out (FOMO), or when it’s time to leave a party; AKA a recipe for disaster if you’re trying to lead a healthy lifestyle, or shed a couple pounds. So what to do? I’ve tried everything growing up – from exercising 6 days a week, to diet plans and fitness routines – nothing sticks for more than a couple weeks. So seriously what to do? According to “Blogger Carly” - “JUST DO IT”. But when there’s homemade fried chicken for lunch and I’m staring at a salad, I feel to punch ‘blogger Carly’ in the face…. Because shut up! You’ve clearly never had homemade fried chicken if you're asking me to resist! So here’s the new plan! I’m going to socially pressure myself into doing what I said I would. If I won’t do it for myself (because love me as I am or goodbye), maybe I’ll do it for you (because self displine is a trait I think everyone should have and I want to be one of those people)! One week at a time, for the next couple weeks, I’m going to blog my ups and downs of the ‘healthy’ process. Join me if you like - use it for motivation, read and laugh at my struggles, or simply just follow along out of curiosity… either way… IT’S ON! I’m Carly Coutts – and I’m going to try to overcome my obsession for all things delicious! CLICK HERE TO FOLLOW ALONG I'm scared. PS.
