Stop the Insanity!

Seriously please stop the insanity. I just saw a commercial on TV for this gadget you can use to crack an egg. Really that is one of the first things I learned to do when cooking... now if I had only known I could have gotten a gadget to do it for me.

This is actually worse than a gadget I saw this summer, this thing you mount on wall and put your toothpaste tube in and press a button and it will squeeze toothpaste onto your tooth brush because is a real strength challenge to squeeze that tube to get the paste onto your brush two to three times a day.

I am sure there are people out there buying these things up like crazy with their last dollar. I don't get it because I never considered getting something to actually squeeze my tube of toothpaste or to use to break my egg for breakfast. I do admit though my mom brought this thing from Sweden that you put onto the tube of toothpaste that helps roll down the tube and push the paste to one end but, I still had to squeeze the tube myself.

The other insane thing is the Taco Bell Drive Thru diet. Hello what is that?? Sure I admit I have had the Fiesta Tacos and they are not bad but I had no illusion that I was going to lose weight eating just that everyday for lunch. It is a special treat maybe once every 6-8 weeks but not everyday. It like anything though if you eat less than what you burn you will shrink in size. It is just the way it works with human body. A person just needs to decide do you want to eat more of something healthy like a good salad and homemade soup or some crap like fast food.

I have eaten my fair share of fast food in the past, having worked as a manager in high school and college for Mc.Donald's I ate there. My brother used to be the General manager of a store and my mom still works for those darn golden arches so she for some forsaken reason likes to still go there and eat when I am visiting. She claims she doesn't eat there anymore but I find that hard to believe. On the other hand, there is my dad who loves the fast food joints and eats that stuff all the time. I guess it is no wonder that he is diabetic on so many meds, that he needs a separate bag to shlep them with him where ever he goes.

I always worry that will be me in the future if I don't watch everything I eat and stop working out. I think that is what drives me to keep moving forward with my journey of weight loss and being a healthier me. I want to break that cycle of diabetes in the family and show those who think it can't be done that it really can if you work hard enough.

I have to realize too that my insanity is someone else's miracle gadget that they have been wanting in their life forever.

This now concludes my rant about the insanity that I have witnessed as of late.

Peace out...
