I'm going to open a rehab facility for sugar addicts. Any investors want to get in on the ground floor? I promise we will be rich just on relapse visits alone.

I worked for this. There was a lot of treating myself like a 2 year old. "No, you won't die if you don't get candy so get off the floor" "Yes I know you want to eat the whole tub of hummus, have some water" The 2 year old in me definitely won a lot more than I care to admit, but the 42 year old me is slowly taking back control from that spoiled child.

Freaking out just a lot! My stalker has a new job and apparently she works at one of my stops. Shaking and wanting to cry. I didn't actually see her, just saw her name on the vendor log from this morning.UGH!

OK, I was good and did my work last night instead of journaling. Sorry.

Guess what happens when you make toys in China? That's right! You get unpopular desperate giraffes. For those of you new to my life, I service claw machines, gumball machines, and video games for a living. It's Valentine's day toy time. Everything is a creepy, big eyed, pink animal, except for the frog, he's green. Each animal is holding something Valentine related. A cat holding a heart that says "I love you", a panda holding a rose, a dog holding a string of "XOXO", a giraffe holding a word that says "HUNG". Yep. Did you know that when you have a felt S, flip it and turn it sideways it turns into an N? Further more if you take the word HUGS, put said flipped s between the u and the g it turns into HUNG? I kept staring at the giraffe I was putting in machines, going "no, what does that say? no." Finally I emailed a picture to my boss with the suggestion that we are going to be getting phone calls. His response was "ONLY YOU!" Yeah, those giraffe are getting pulled from the machines. I'm awesome! I imagine if these machines were adults only the poor little giraffe would be very popular. Instead he's going back to China, and I'm the crazy lady all alone in the game room laughing out loud at a pink giraffe. I love my job.

Since I have so much free time and needed a hobby I decided to start a vegetarian group in my town. You are in the presence of the founder of the "Blah blah blah Vegetarian Society". It's a working name. I got the idea from the VegFest I went to this past summer in Indy. It annoyed me that I don't have a resource like this in my town. The area I live in has a population of almost 300,000 people. Granted that's including the outlying rural area, but it also includes a large university, and a town nicknamed "East Berkeley" where all the residents wear Birkenstocks. I promise you, there's a couple of vegetarians somewhere in that group. The food co-op I belong to has a classroom, so I contacted them about using it for my group meetings. They loved the idea, and are going to help me get my group off the ground including advertising. YAY!

Ok, down to business now. My giant 4.6 lb total weight loss last year made me decide it's time to get serious. It all came down to what I ate. I was doing so well until Halloween, then I got a taste of sugar, then another, and 5 more, and gained almost all my weight back. I also had something very curious happen with this increase in sugar. I’m pretty sure I have candida overgrowth. I started having not so pleasant symptoms that I believe are directly related to me feeding the candida in my body too much sugar. Of course according to the internet Candida Overgrowth causes everything from athletes foot to ADHD so who knows what will happen once I start this. I've been doing research on how to get rid of it. It’s going to be a big and lengthy commitment. No more sugar, period, including foods that turn to sugar. I've gotten some oil of oregano to start taking as an anti-fungal, plus coconut oil is good for that as well. There’s something called die off that doesn't sound pleasant so I’m trying to figure out how to deal with that. Anybody ever do with this?

I’ve also started learning TaiChi. It’s something I've always been curious about. So I found some videos on YouTube and I’m slowly learning the moves. It’s a lot harder than it looks. I think it will be very good for me both physically and mentally. It’s also an exercise I feel I could sustain for the rest of my life. I’m not into laying on the floor to exercise, and I don’t sweat. I don’t like to sweat. I don’t do it.

That's all I've got for now. Don't want to wear out my welcome. Stay real.

OH I ALMOST FORGOT! I have been getting better at telling myself no. No, you're not hungry. No, you don't need to eat that. Yay me!
