At 19 years old I was living the dream life in Houston, Texas. I had great friends, I was doing what I loved, and the food in Texas made my day, everyday. It was uncommon for me to prepare my own food or even to pack a lunch for work. I did however manage to eat Fruity Pebbles every morning, so for breakfast I was taking care of myself. The office I worked at was in the heart of Houston, leaving me to eat out every lunch and for socially reasons eating out for dinner. I was extra happy eating fried okra, isn’t that a vegetable? I also made sure to eat my fruits, peach cobbler, and take in plenty of dairy for strong bones, Blue Bell Ice Cream.

This past week I was looking through old pictures of what Texas was really like. I was shocked to see how much my life has changed. Although I love Texas, it is hard for me to imagine what would have happened if I had stayed there. The group of people that I had surrounded myself with in Houston was not in any hurry to change their lifestyle of eating out, nor was I.

Just this weekend I was driving in my car eating a muffin. I thought to myself “what would happen if Lana drove past”? Why was I so concerned with what I was eating when I was alone? No one would know, or would they?! At this stage in my life style change, closet eating is the WORST thing that could be happening. I need to be letting each of you into my day and holding me accountable to everything that goes into this body. Will you be myfitnesspal? Join online, and its totally free, at myfitnesspal.com.
