As usual ... my buddies ROCK!!!
Yesterday was another "off" day ... with me discovering cake in the break room and it went down hill from there.
That's all I have to say about that.
I have not yet decided how I am going to change my way of eating ... except that I am not eating any more brownies, cake, ice-cream, and so forth. I know this. This type of food mades me feel physically unwell. I don't want to feel this way. I am responsible. I am in control. I take care of myself. I am kind to myself. Done.
I'm dragging today. A combination of poor food choices, up too late (again), and high emotions. My husband's uncle called last night (he actually calls EVERY night ... so we will know he is alive ... fear of dying and believe it or not his dog eating him because no one knows he is dead). His uncle is a rather interesting fellow. He has strange ways of thinking. Husband's conversation with him was loud and animated and exhausting to hear. Uncle is quite opinionated, thinks he is very logical, and picks apart just about everything. Not sure my description can do him justice. We affectionately refer to him as the "blockhead."
I watched "The Beaver" last night. Strange but interesting film about depression, directed by Jodie Foster with Jodie Foster and Mel Gibson in it.
I am grateful for ...
1. Each and every day.
2. For the undying loyalty and encouragement of my buddies.
3. For finding a way to mix up my exercise and sticking to it ... even though eating has been "off" at best.
4. One day closer to another weekend.
5. .... the undying affection of my boy Blue ... who thinks he is a lap dog ... all 100 lbs of him!!
Busy day ahead ... phone conference in 20 minutes and then three visits today. Rarely a dull minute.
I continue to work on my positive self statements ... will drink plenty of water today ... and carry on!!
Have a good day.

try to limit the rest of your day to whole, clean foods. And likely tomorrow and the next day as well. Your body is hormonally and metabolically working against you - and will fight w/you for you to do otherwise... but it's in your best interest to rid your system of these sugars completely and then work back in slowly to the things that don't affect you. Have a harvest party in the produce section and pair it up w/ healthy protein! You'll be totally satisfied and happy! Good luck :) Much Love.

Great advice. It will probably make you feel better. Just so hard to resist sometimes. Give yourself a break girl. Hugs

I worked on that film. Wish it did better. Mgibson is such a shame! Hey I am on the plane to Paris and checking in with you. As one mental health prof to another, sounds like you are working out your frustration with a litlle fit of defiance. I do it all the time. Now time to take care of yourself. I mean it! Ok silly sausage?

Hey, Carol...sorry that yesterday wasn't the best, but today is another chance to change...thankfully God gives us lots of those. Some times we just have those days...as for the cake, I so hear you on that one, and once I start...well, stopping becomes an extreme exercise in self control. And it is not one that I often win. So the best thing to do is avoid it like the plague, and walk the other way! I find that the longer I go without the sugars, the easier it is to do that. If I eat even a bite, it is all downhill from there! I was really lucky on Sunday that the brownie bite didn't start an all out free fall. Now, remember, you are a beautiful, wonderful, fearfully made, child of God, and you are awesome! :)

Dens ... LOL!!! Perhaps you are right!! Wow ... on the plane to Paris and checking with me??? I am honored!! I liked the movie. Too bad Mel is such a mess. I really enjoy his acting. Stef ... yes, sugar is a slippery slope for me ... and one I am avoiding like the plague today!!! Once I get in the groove of eating well it isn't nearly as tempting. I can even have one bite and be fine. The last two days though ... good grief ... certainly not the picture of moderation!!

I commented here earlier and I don't see it!!!! Arghhhhh!! NO sugar is a goal we can do one day at a time. Cake is just evil embodied...best to stay far away if you can. Time to find our mojo.....I know it's time for me!!
