Lady, Will Power - It's Now or Never...

Willpower - noun: control of ones impulses and actions; self control. And I possess lots of will power. I have been described as driven, determined and focused, a starter finisher with a can do attitude. I am told I get things done and make a difference and this is an approach that I take to everything in life, with the exception of food. Food is my nemesis...

I have no will power when it comes to food. I love food - I don't eat to live, I live to eat. The odd thing is that on the whole I eat well. Fresh fruit, meat and vegetables (I love them all), I don't like sweet fizzy drinks and love water, I don't like fast food it's too greasy and rarely eat ready meals. But I "compliment" my diet with lots of chocolate, chocolate, chocolate.

My problem is portion control. If I like something I want more... and more... and more. I can't eat a square of chocolate, I have to eat the bar. I can't have a glass of wine, I have to have another.

So, I believe for my mission to be accomplished, I need to exercise will power and this is the only exercise I will be including in my mission.

Wish me luck - applying will power to changing the way I eat is going to be the hardest thing I have ever done...

P.S. I had a delicious low fat meal last night: you might want to try it http://www.deliciousmagazine.co.uk/recipedisplay.aspx?id=3833
