madaboutmoose's Journal, 17 November 2009

Much better eating day yesterday. Snack monster took a break. I feel better.

Light day at work yesterday and I just happened to be in the vicinity of a Macy's and a sale!! Scored two pairs of pants, some vests, a purse I didn't really need but couldn't resist, a sweater and a summer blouse for thrift store prices!! WAHOO!!! Macy's sales are my thrift store.

Today I will focus on keeping the snack monster at bay, drinking plenty of water and staying in my "groove."

My five for today ...

1. being able to cut back after indulging without major damage
2. Calvin Klein jeans for $15.00!!!
3. being able to NOT SHOP in the big girl section
4. the honest journal entries of buddies that remind me I am not in this journey alone (Thank you Cindyshine!!!)
5. another decent night of sleep!!

Let's remember that life is PROCESS not PRODUCT and that as long as we are breathing we will never be "done." It's okay ... acceptance doesn't mean we "like" everything about our bodies it simply means that we choose to no longer beat up on ourselves.

I love the whole journal entry today... actually, I love all your journal entries. Like you said, REAL entries are the most important. Cheap jeans ;). Also, it is fun when shopping is easier than it has ever been before, congrats.

What always works for me when the "snack monster" comes to town, is to drink as much water as I can. Yeah, I spend half my work day in the John, but its worth it!!!!

I have been at this for almost 2 years and have never heard of anybody refer to life as a process, and unlike products it is never done. Thank you for that. WOW! I made your top 5, or my journal did! lol what an honor. I really wasn't happy w/ that journal, but I was happy to hear my buddies weren't sick of me, nor ever would be!

Kudos on scoring with the Macy's sale! Usually when I go clothes shopping I either find lots of stuff I like and it actually fits or nothing that I like or it doesn't fit. To find something you like AND fits AND it's on sale is GREAT!! And the retail therapy in itself is fun. :-) Glad you got the snack monster under control!
