Excuses

So being a daycare teacher, naptime can give you a lot of time to think.  Our kids are great at sleeping for 2 hours, so beyond that and taking our breaks, I have some free time in the classroom.  Today, I spent it thinking about my [short] journey so far, and some of my bad eating habits.  I always said the reason that I ate fast food so often was because I worked 2 jobs, and just didn't have time to eat anything healthy.  But, I realized today, after working a short, 4-hour shift at the daycare, and not having to work at the mall tonight, in the past, I would have gone to McDonald's on my way home.  What was my excuse then?  There was no reason to come home at 4 in the afternoon and not find time to cook dinner that evening.  It is definitely not going to be easy, but who said it would be?  It's a lifestyle change, and I am ready to make it.
