Why Do We Have Silly Little Addictions?

OK you are going to think that I am crazy, but I have this crazy addiction to exercise videos. To those of you who don't know I am trying to lose a lot of weight and have recently tried to work out 1-2 hrs. a day 6 days a week.

This morning while I was working out I was laughing at myself at how many different exercise programs I have bought. Back in the day I would beg David for different exercise videos thinking a different one would be the answers to all of my problems. Once I got the program I would try it for a couple of days and then stop. What a waist. David finally put a stop to it and said that if I want anymore I have to use the ones I have now. So the madness did stop.

I still however once in a while will see an infomercial on the latest exercise trend and find myself having to try really hard not to beg for it. I don't know what it is?. I wonder if there is an exercise videos anonymous...LOL

Anyway yesterday I was really glad that I had a variety to do, because I was doing one of them and was totally board with it. I am working really hard to try each of the exercise videos/CDs I have. I am currently doing oh, I would say four different work outs, not including walking. I am determined to get the weight off even if for the next while I have to work our 1 hr in the morning and 1 hr in the evening.

I now have to stay away from all infomercials. I know some of you think I am crazy, but I am weak. When I first had Kimball I had to get up in the middle of the night to feed him. What did I do during that time?...I watched TV. What is on at that time?...Infomercials. One morning I woke Dave up in the middle of the night to hand me his credit card for some cool make-up. I was feeling pretty ugly and wanted to feel beautiful. Dave being lethargic gave me the card. He said I am no longer allowed to watch them. I agree with him. i see something that will make me beautiful and I want it. As you can tell I am working on my self-esteem. Please let me take a moment to LOL at myself. Does anyone else have a crazy problem like this? Please say yes?.

Annie, we are soul mates! I have the same problem! I call it the WANT MONSTER! My boys have it really bad too-It usually appears for me when like you, I am watching TV. I want it all! I am so proud of you to admit the problem. Maybe there is hope for us! Way to go on working out. That is awesome! You look great and hopefully soon you will feel great and see what the rest of us already see. (That you are beautiful!) :)
