What's Happening to my Body??

When I was a kid, What's Happening to my Body was a book my mom got my older sister to teach her about the birds and bees.  Since I was six years old, and highly immature, I would wait for my sister to leave the bedroom that we shared and look at the pictures of certain male anatomy and snicker and laugh to myself.  Haaa!!  It still makes me laugh when I think about it.

As an adult however, the title to that book has taken on a whole new meaning.  Up until I was pregnant, my diet consisted of everything unhealthy that you can imagine.  Metabolism used to be my best friend, but is now my worst enemy.  I can't help it!! I want chips, candy bars, ice cream, hamburgers, pizza, coke, candy, and the list continues from here. I weigh more now than I ever have in my entire life!!  I can't imagine why:)  I am going to work on this before it really does get out of hand.

Another bad habit that seems to be making a return is smoking!!  I started smoking when I was 13 years old.  I was too cool for school  you know, or so I thought anyway.  I quit right before I got pregnant at 31.  I decided that when I went back to work I was going to take full advantage and make it my grown up day.  I work, I socialize...I smoke?!  Yes, that's right.  My first day back, I high tailed it to the gas station to pick up a pack.  I told myself that I would only have one on my lunch break (only on my lunch break...only.on.my.lunch.break).  Well, one week they didn't make it into my locker.  They made it into my purse instead.  So yesterday, here I sat.  My daughter was taking an extra long nap, and I was bored.  What do you think I did?  If you said smoke you get the grand prize, which happens to be!!!!!!! What's Happening to my Body.
