Friends and Food

I can't seem to have friends without food.  Meeting over lunch and dinner is so common.  And my willpower to say no to the shake, cheeseburger and fries combo is non-existent.  I have no will-power.  I guess I need to face it.  I use to tell myself I didn't spend a lot on shopping because I just didn't put myself at shopping malls that often.  I was strong enough to resist the shopping temptation.  But that's not true.  I really don't like to shop.  Some women make a habit of shopping.  I avoid it, not because of my great willpower.  I just find it BORING.  And I think I told myself my willpower was so strong in high school and college, that it kept me out of trouble...no dwi (dui's present tense), no major drunken embarassing moments I barely remember, simply because my willpower was so strong.  WRONG.  I never liked the taste of beer, still don't and barely can finish one bottle of wine in a month and that is with my husband drinking with me. So, I have to admit it...where food is concerned I need more inner strength.  I know half the battle of weight loss is simply recognizing where the problem lies.  Most people don't have thyroid problems...they have mental problems.  I think Oprah would agree with me on that.  No special emphasis on the last statement. I somehow am writing in italics and I CAN'T GET IT TURNED OFF!!!!!!!!! Well hell.

My lack of willpower AND computer skills are depressing me.

Sincerely,
I'm Not Oprah
