Or something like that. I thought of that on the way home (or I heard it somewhere and I'm taking credit for it). Either way, it is true. I went to WW this morning and weighed in after about 5 weeks off the wagon. Let's just say sigh. Let's just say this is either another reason for me to punish myself or a new day where anything is possible.
Don't laugh so hard. Just because I can always see the dark scary potential of situations doesn't mean I don't have any optimistic or idealistic streaks in me.
Anyway, here's a list of good choices I've made so far today:
- I worked out for 30 minutes
- I had 2 hard-boiled eggs and a half a grapefruit for breakfast
- I've had 2 glasses of water so far
- I went to WW and stayed for the meeting
See, I can skip the "but" part or mention the things I did today that I'm not as happy about, but I won't.
You know, when I get really depressed I turn inward. Every delay of a promise or responsibility eats at me until I'm totally hiding and the delayed thing starts to matter to someone other than myself, like a bill paid late. But I was thinking today about things that are out of my control, like the weather, for example, and things that are in my control. I may not be able to control whether I have a craving, but I do have control over whether I give in to the craving or not. I can't make an employer give me a job, but I can control my resume, my knowledge and how I present myself.
I am more than overdue for some soul searching...

You could do what I did and have both knees replaced, which seems to decrease your appatite very fast as well as make you realize number of things.
(1) If you had not been afraid, you would have done this alone time ago and never gained the weight in the first place.
(2) being unhappy with yourself hurts thought around you more than yourself. ( i could have realized that a long time ago and saved A LOT OF GRIEF.)
(3) Thing are never given to you and no matter how great a dream seems IF YOU GET IT SOMETHING WILL BE NOT QUITE RIGHT.
(4) guilt is a SOD package and refuse delevery.
(5) If someone can't see your worth they aren't worth working for.
( IF YOU DO NOT SOUND YOUR OWN HORN VERY LOUND AND TRUTHFUL NOONE ELSE WILL AND YOU WILL MISS OUT ON MANY OPPERTUNITIES.
(6) TOOT THAT HORN.
Too true. Of course, it's hard to have perspective and amazing how fast perspective disappears when dessert gets in the way...
That is too true. Once, I stopped What I liked and could eat a lot of and bought what I liked but could only eat a small amount and still be satisfied. examle: NO CHOLALTE MARSHMELLOW ICE CREAM. YES TO LEMON SHERBERT, NO TO CHOCLATE PUDDING AND YES TO LEMON TART.
Now I am on to only fruit or nuts.
And I have traded Coke for ice tea THAT WAS MAJOR HARD!!!!!!
