aha

from time to time i hear people use the phrase "aha moment". truly the only person i really think of when i hear that is oprah. so i avoid using it. but i must confess...i do think it some times. i don't say that is an aha moment. it is more like if experience some kind of clarity of thought i think "aha".
well today i realized i had an aha moment. for the past few months i have been trying to shed this winter weight. my question is where did it come from. it all started with a picture.
at thanksgiving 2012, celebrated at donner lake house, a bunch of went for a walk. as always is the case phones were present pictures were taken and loaded instantly to the internet. i got a couple cool shots of my friend samantha. and then i saw a group shot that included me. wow, i thought, i look for a lack of a better word fat. well at least fat for me. after that all bets were off.
thanksgiving became pretty much (again for me) an eating fest. and to be perfectly honest it was super fun and i enjoyed every bit. well the fun continued through christmas, new years and well until feb.
so here we are months later and my ah ha has come. that's why eating fest began. it was super fun and i am glad it is done.
oh and amazingly enough i end this blog post once again while in donner. (note: i started writing this weeks ago) and i am eating twizzlers. there is something about this place that kicks that part of my person into gear with treats. thankfully this time it is not thanksgiving so it is non stop food fest.
aha.
