And it’s fine, I tell myself, because I haven’t eaten all day. Sometimes, I eat lunch-a sandwich from Subway or Jimmy John’s. I don’t eat breakfast because I’m not hungry or I don’t have time or there is no food in the house, which are all excuses for not being willing to take proper care of myself.
Often, I rush to get ready and begin my day because I am not a morning person and I hit snooze on my alarm several times. Before the day starts, I am fully prepared to tackle the problem of my body, to be better than I have been. During these moments, I think, Today, I will make good choices. Every morning, I wake up and have a few minutes where I am free from my body and my failings. I start each day with the best of intentions for living a better, healthier life.
