Give It Away
What do you do with the unhealthy food is calling your name from your frig??
I have been awake since 2:30 a.m....mostly because I needed to get up and go to the bathroom- a normal result of all day water drinking. Once I took care of that, I laid in the bed and could only think of one thing....the leftover pizza in my refrigerator!
I have a definite weakness for pizza. Pizza and I are WAY closer than we should be and it likes to stick around, hiding in all of my recently vacated fat storage spots.
However, I have renewed my commitment to myself and my commitment to destroy the vacated fat storage locations. So, I used my extra awake time to devise a plan to relocate the pizza to my parents' house!!

Those who know me well know my motto- When in doubt, GIVE IT AWAY! This was mainly developed to address food that I know I shouldn't eat, such as leftover birthday cake, cupcakes, cookies, candy, etc, but it can also be applied to other areas of your life. About a year and a half ago, I went on a closet cleaning spree and we donated over $1500 worth of stuff to a domestic violence shelter. All items that we hadn't touched in over a year and I wasn't sure if we would need them or not. When in doubt, GIVE IT AWAY!
Around the same time I started fundraising and donating money to various charities. Mind you, we were in BAD shape financially. I was laid-off of work for 6 month and then, thankfully after I found a job, my husband was laid-off for 11 months. Things were tight, but the feeling that I get after donating goods, services, or money is awesome. The fact that I have been able to pay it forward and give back for a small portion of the blessings that I have received is just wonderful.
