I'm not too happy with my Belly

If anyone read my post about the Miami Corporate run, then you know I completed the 5k in 33 minutes and 20 seconds. Friday at work was pretty good. I had the fastest time of the team and I was feeling proud.

Then I saw the photos... Not good. My belly was rather prominent. Problem is that I only see myself in the mirror from the front. I guess the mirror is 2D, so I don't see just how far out my belly projects our from the rest of my body. The photographers had caught me from different angles and Oh Boy...

For those who don't know. I used to weigh close to 300 pounds. Then through hard work and dedication I got down to 197 pounds. I have relaxed and little by little I have been gaining the weight back. As of Friday, I decided I am NOT going to let myself continue to get fatter and fatter. Today I woke up and went to Tamiami Park. I ran a 5k in 32 minutes and 23 seconds. I felt great after the run, came home and took a shower. I plan on doing this every other day. The running, I will still continue to shower daily.

But then like a total asshole, I ate a couple slices of left over pizza for lunch. So now I need to come up with a plan to not let my psychology get to me and tell myself that small salad and a light sandwhich is yummy and filling!I don't need to eat pizza, chicken wings, AND beer.
