As promised here is my “Benefits of Not Eating This Junk Food Right Now” list. I appreciate the comments and suggestions you all made to help me with this. This list is for those times when I’m not hungry, it’s not a special occasion, and I’m just looking for some sugary/salty entertainment for my mouth. If you think of anything else that might be helpful to add, just leave me a comment and I’ll come back and add to this later.
Why I Should NOT Eat This Delicious Poisonous Food Right Now Even Though It Would Be Totally Tasty
- I will be that much hungrier for my next healthy meal or snack so it will taste that much more delicious!
- My “NO” muscle will get a good workout
- I will not want to come back and punch myself in the face later
- I will not be flooding my body with trash chemicals that will make me feel awful in a half hour
- I will feel incredibly noble and virtuous, like a queen, when I put the food down and say “This I do for me!”
- My arteries will stay clear and free-flowing if I don’t eat this ( and who doesn’t love free-flowing arteries?)
- My libido will remain “on”. Let’s just leave it at that.

In other news, BIG thanks to Debby and Katie for their suggestions on dealing with my Plantar’s Fasciitis. Debby sent me an article about stretching and Katie suggested using Orthaheel orthotics and I’m having good results just in the last few days! Just the simple stretch alone has helped me feel about 75% better. I ordered the orthotics and had a little trouble the first day but once I realized I had put them in the wrong way (facepalm) I fixed the issue and they have been working great!! My hope is that I can get this thing licked within a few weeks and then I can start jogging (slowly) and start training for realz for the 5k in March.

About a month ago I got an email from Swamimami Teas saying I had made their “Bloggers You Should Know About” list. Here’s what they had to say about me:
Jill is on the journey to slowly but certainly produce a brand new, healthy life for herself. Jill knows that even when the focus is weight loss, life intervenes with and it’s not the only thing we have to think of.
That’s why her website is so much more than just tracking the pounds on the scale. It’s about discovering a purposeful, permanent way of living a healthy life. That’s the sort of weight loss and fitness goal which everyone can appreciate.
Why Swami Mami adores The Sassy Pear? This 40 something trying to lose 40 pounds speaks about her amazing journey. We love her real and raw approach to not only changing the foods you eat and your exercise routine, but her journey to change her thoughts about her own body. We love Jill!
Very sweet!! Then a couple of weeks ago, they sent me another email offering to let me try their 2 week TeaTox and I agreed. Because I like tea and I like free things and BECAUSE THEY SAID THEY LOVE ME. That’s why. Tell me you love me and I’ll pretty much do anything you ask (which now that I think about it, might have been the source of much heartache in college, but that’s another blog post entirely). So look for a review of Swamimami Teas in the near future (sneak peak: the tea tastes really yummy!).
Until next time! 🙂
You are cracking me up! Love your sassy attitude, Jill!
GOOD LORD I LOVE YOUR ‘TUDE TOO
And Im borrowing some today.
I need to.
Take all you need ma’am. I’m happy to give! 🙂
Can you do a detailed post with all they suggested for plantar f, including a copy of the article? It comes up so often in blog land that it would be nice to reference.
Thanks for the shout-out. 🙂 And I’m glad you’re finding relief with the Orthoheel. And lastly, I kept thinking while I read this “and to think she was just telling us not too long ago she thought she was done with this whole blogging thing.” I’m sure glad you aren’t! 🙂
I know! It happens every time – I think I’m done then all of a sudden I can’t shut up!! 🙂
