Was it because I was thinking about binge eating? Or was it just that the “perfect storm” was approaching and there was nothing I could do about it? On Saturday, I listed the life ingredients that can cause me to binge. So why didn’t I mention that I was feeling several of those things, and [...]

Bugs & Motivation
I am learning that illness makes me not really care about losing weight. Which is a drag because I had hopes of accomplishing something this week in that line – like maybe a pound off. But my coughing (barking) and sore throat make me want to eat whatever’s easiest to prepare and swallow. Last night [...]

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 [...]

Double-Mindedness

I really believed that I would take responsibility for my health when the chips (no pun intended) were down. But it’s turning out to be harder than I [...]

Recovery
I figure it takes me about two to three weeks now to recover from a serious tumble into a vat of sugar/fat/whatever. This time it also took two weeks of awful stomach problems to force me into getting back into really good habits. Even giving up the wine has been easy because I feel so [...]

If I was smart…
If I was smart, I’d go into my fridge right now and purge a lot of the leftovers from Thanksgiving. I’d keep the turkey, that’s good for sandwiches and soup and I can freeze some for future casseroles. However, the stuffing should be thrown out for sure, plus the leftover dessert that my daughter in [...]

Setting Goals
Yesterday ended up being a fairly easy series of good meal choices. So another day down. I think it’s time to start thinking about goals – not exactly when and not exactly how much but I’ve had a personal goal of reaching a body weight and shape and maintaining it for a year. I’ve been [...]
