This is NOT food or exercise related.

A huge thing in losing weight, getting healthy and staying there is your mental state. You have to work at feeling good about yourself. Most of us have gained weight because that feeling good about self was missing for various reasons. Most of us have stories we can tell if we seriously examine our lives and reasons for weight gain. I am a quilt artist so this relates to me feeling good about my life.

I have spent this wet and later extremely humid day working on getting my basement studio back to useable. I have been neglecting my passions lately. I love vintage all metal sewing machines and sort of collect and attempt to restore them--I currently have 12. I also fix them up and give them away. I found this in a cabinet today, I knew there was a machine in it but didn't really remember what--I had picked it up off a street a couple years ago. Set out as trash. It made my day. It needs a good power cord as the one I have for it is totally wrapped in electrical tape so ify. After oiling it purrs. It is a 1948 Singer 201. The cabinet needs some work.

Family probably won't care, they think I'm a little nuts with all these machines. LOl That makes 5 vintage ones running beautifully. One I worked on yesterday has me puzzled and have posed a question on the vintage machine facebook group. Another needs to be timed so will have to learn to do that: the one above did not need it. I need to find some directions for it as I can't get the needle to stay centered. Probably user error.
