Proverbs 17:9 He who covers and forgives an offense seeks love, but he who repeats or harps on a matter separates even close friends.
That's a good verse.
So, I was going to try to get out today and since I cannot do that very often I was hoping to weigh so I'd know where I stand here near the beginning. I called my Primary Care Center to see if they had an electronic scale I could weigh on. I was told they did so I went up there, leaving my mother and son in the van, thinking it would take only a few minutes. I got there and they went over all of my information at the front desk because they have a new system. Then instead of just going back I had to weight for a nurse to take me back there. I was frustrated because my mother had things she had to do today/tonight and we still had to go to the store. After waiting for almost 20 minutes the nurse comes and tells me they have no electronic scale. I told her I was told they did and I could come weigh on it. She said she would go ask around .. waited a few more minutes and she came back saying they did have one but it was in the very back of the building. I walk back there as best I can and when I get there I get on the scale and see there is a sign on it that says it weighs up only to 450.
Sooo ... not only did I waste a lot of time without finding out my weight. my back was hurting so badly by that time (and still had to walk back to the front of the building and out to the van) I almost passed out and had to stay in the van for two-thirds of the time my son and mother were in the store because I was hurting too badly to go in there until I had rested.
Maybe another day I will find a way.

Something odd I just noticed. I don't know exactly what it means yet but I'll be thinking about it. A couple of days ago, I picked a date in my food diary that preceded my joining fatsecret. To that entry I put the typical amounts of food I was eating a day before I started watching my (unhealthy) carbs again. I, of course, noticed immediately that I had been eating at least twice as many calories as I am now and 4-5 *
times
* the amount of carbs I am now eating a day.
What I noticed today though was this: I am eating right about the
same
amount of fat and protein now as I was then. The *
only
* thing I am eating less of is carbs. That cements to me the things I learned years ago about my insulin resistance, insulin levels, pcos, and what carbs can (and will) do to me.
Another thing is I am eating more servings of vegetables now than most days over the last five years. Of course the quality of my food will further increase once I am able to use my stove again and actually work in my kitchen (prep work) and clean the kitchen again.

I was reading in the forums about a man who lost weight to fit on a Disney ride. It made me a little sad because I remember being six years old, going to the fair, and hearing the man who ran the pony rides telling my uncle I was too fat to ride the ponies, that I would hurt the pony if I did.
I don't think being told I was too fat to do anything or be anything as I aged ever inspired me to lose weight. I think it mostly just contributed to my poor self image which in turn led me to more emotional eating when I was growing up.

Really hot here today. 105 degrees and something like 114 degree heat index. I have fans blowing on me almost all the time.
I'm not sure when I will get around to weighing myself. The scale at the doctor I go to in town only goes up to 350. There is one at the hospital that weighs up to 700 but since they've built on to the hospital and my mother works in another area, I have no idea where it is now. The number doesn't really matter to me. I just want to have a life again. I want to be able to do things with my son that I cannot do now. I'm certain to lose whether I am getting on the scale or not because I'm eating less than half the calories I was eating before and less than a quarter of the carbs.
