Can’t linger… It’s our anniversary and we’re going out for a wonderful calorie-laden meal tonight. But I still have that 139 in my head. But I DO NOT want that number to make me feel cranky. The Dieter’s Dilemma. So I’m not going to hang around here – but put on my running shoes and [...]

Who Am I? Last 10lbs 17/42
Yesterday I ended up with a digestive complaint that doesn’t need to be described here. Ick. I haven’t had anything like that for years. So I stayed in, ate sparingly, and went to bed early. And what do you know, I feel fine today. It was tempting to spend a little more time curled up [...]

Back to Baby Steps
I’m sagging a little beneath the weight of the crises of the people around me. What I thought was going to be some time “away” has turned into time “sharing the burden” with the nearest and the dearest. And for me, a melt-down once removed is still a melt-down. However – the day following the [...]
OK. I need the whole world to stop associating Good and Bad with eating. Really. Just like I managed to banish “fall off the wagon“, I want to stop saying things like, “I had a good week” to mean that I ate in a way that would lead to weight loss. And especially to ban [...]

Return of the Scale Insanity
I was going to write today that I felt lucky to be having a good week – not so much good, as EASY. An easy week is one where I just don’t feel overly hungry but I do feel like getting out and moving. And I consider it lucky because I can’t for the life [...]
I’ve not been writing because I’ve been too busy worrying. Sad but true. I function ok when I’m stressed – unless that stress is caused by worry. That is, caused by something that gets worse rather than better by trying to think it through. I’m not a huge worrier by nature but I’m a persistent [...]

Checking In
It’s not as though I haven’t been thinking tons about what I’m doing and not doing – but the actual act of writing it all down has got lost in the tinsel, gingerbread and shopping lists. I’ve put on two pounds which may or may not be “real”. I need vegetables but can’t find them [...]

Getting a Grip – Laziness 2
Once I fall into the Ditch of Little Effort I find it hard to get back to my more energetic life. The ditch is comfy and warm and…..well, fat-producing. So I think I need a plan starting right now. Porridge for breakfast – with yoghourt and blueberries – cooked on the stove and not the [...]
I wish I had a dollar for every time I started over. I’d be retired and sitting in a beautiful cottage somewhere, with tons of friends, and lots of fun things to do, and no money worries. But I’m also willing to guess that I’d still be struggling with food, starting over, failing, starting over [...]

Planning for a feast
So far so good. The best thing is having all the food in the fridge for tonight’s festivities. Because we wanted to spend the whole day being touristy with friends, we cooked the turkey yesterday. The stuffing and pumpkin pie are made and friends are bringing everything else except the potatoes. I’ll check in tomorrow [...]
