I need a little more self control in my life. I read, back in high school, that soda was horrible for your body and that diet soda was even worse! I was never a fan of soda to begin with, so I just stopped drinking it. And it was just like that. Soda became unappealing to me. I can honestly say that I do not drink soda more that five times per YEAR, and even THAT is an exaggeration. In 2011 I distinctly remember the three times I drank soda. Yesterday, simply because I was curious to drink 7Up, a drink I had never had before. It turned out it was the same as sprite and gave me the burps :/ How gross. And the two times before that it was simply because at the club soda is cheaper than a bottle of water. And I only drank one soda each time.
The point I'm trying to make is that I gave up on soda so easily! And if I do drink it, it's a clear soda. I wish I could have that same self control over food; specifically candy, cold fattening beverages (Wawa shakes, smoothies, etc.), and seconds. I am not a fan of cookies, chips, and cakes. Those are the types of things I DO have self control over. I am a food food kind of girl and I have little self control when it comes to it.
I suppose my deadly sin would be gluttony (and lust but that's beside the point!). I indulge in food. I have definitely come a long way! But I have relapses too often. I eat PLENTY of veggies, little to no rice and pasta, and little to no bread. People would think I don't struggle with my health and things of that nature but I do. I know what I like and I have self control to an extent but I would like to have a greater self control. I go over my calories every single day! Sometimes by a little, sometimes by a lot.
Nevertheless, today is a new day and I can start anew. Perseverance and growth.
