Everything in Moderation

So, I recently went to the doctor for the first time in several years. I'm okay, but naturally, I now need to start eating better, and exercising (some) and just generally try to be healthier. It's something I've wanted to do before, but I lacked the motivation. Plus, this thought always makes me think of someone rushing in, locking me in a tiny prison, and dangling cake just outside of my reach while laughing maniacally. It always makes me sad. And yes, I know I'm a little dramatic.

But that's not what's going to happen! I can still have cake. Sometimes. Just not as frequently as I think I want it. I also have to cut back on my cheese intake. Everything in moderation!

This is going to be difficult for me, because I equate not being able to eat what I want to a loss of personal freedom, and lots of other bad things that I logically understand won't be the case. Any tips or suggestions for me?

I thought today's post should be a little more personal, about something important that's going on with me. I also thought this post would be the perfect time to share one of my favorite Bible verses.
