Do You Get What I Am Saying...

I pulled this quote off of Pinterest today from a good friend of mine in Waverly, Iowa!

Don't you feel like this sometimes...

I mean seriously lets not kid ourselves! I love food and food loves me. Lately, I have trying to change my love of BAD food and LOVE the healthy stuff.

I have a horrible, horrible sweet tooth and need to get over my love of BAD food like ice cream specifically New York Cheesecake or Peanut Butter Chocolate from Baskin Robbins. To be honest there isn't one night that doesn't go by that I don't want a brownie, cookie, or ice cream after supper. I decided tonight after I ate to give it sometime to see if it would go away...

NOPE! So, I made a small smoothie with strawberries, banana, almond milk, and I put a little Carnation Instant Breakfast (chocolate of course) in it. NOT SO BAD!

So with that said, I am going to have to take my new LOVE of good food and find some type of way to add some GOOD sweets for my BAD sweet tooth! Can it be done!? I THINK SO!

I also have a sweet tooth, one that can get out of control. I've been buying a really good bar of dark chocolate, and have 1 square p/day when that craving strikes. It's kept me a bit more in line, just knowing it's there when I need it, and it's semi-healthy so I don't feel as guilty.

The Story Behind the Title

I told my son that I wanted to get rid of all the fat around my belly and get "skinny" and I asked him to help me think of a title for my blog like a title of a book. He said "I don't know what you should call it". Then a couple minutes later out of nowhere he said, "Where's The Skinny".

Then he said, "but where is the skinny" and I said "I don't have the skinny yet but I am going to" and he said "well I am skinny". He always makes me laugh with his innocent remarks and conversations. Then he said it again, "Where's The Skinny". We talked for a little bit longer and then our conversation ended as quick as it started...

I said, "well Mommy had 2 babies and I have extra skin". He said "extra skin" and I said "yes". He said "I don't have extra skin because I don't have a baby" and I said, "that's right only mommy's can have babies". Then I finished up our conversation with "I love your tummy" and he just laughed. And that was the end of that!

So that is how my blog became "Where's The Skinny". I added the Mama!
