Morning all!
Well, I hit a major speedbump on my road to self control last week and it's taken until now to get back to where I was -- both weight-wise and mental-health wise. I was just so d*** mad at myself for choosing to give in to my cravings on 2 separate nights.
Then, I got even more furious because I couldn't understand why doing so made me feel like I couldn't/shouldn't post. Reading about how well some of you were doing just seemed to make me madder at myself for my lack of control. But.......all's well now. I wish I could blame it on TOM, but I went through premature menapause 3 years ago (at 39), so that's one excuse that flew right out the window. Stress? Well, that's always a good excuse, but who isn't stressed? Weakness? Ahhhh...maybe? Temporary insanity? Okeedokee...that'll do!!! Anyway...I just couldn' bear to have to update my current weight to a higher number, so I stayed low until I could come back and leave it untouched.
Valentine's Day was pretty much of a nonevent in my household. Some cards were swapped.....daughter to father, father to daughter, father to mother, mother to daughter, daughter to mother, mother to father.....etc. There were the prerequisite chocolate boxes for all but me. I was given a beautiful indoor rosebush plant with some nasty thorns that attacked me when I tried to unwrap the pot! Maybe that was payback for downing that box of Chex Mix last week?
Brenda and Ashley: Girls, you two need to shop wholesale for those earrings! I'm love the look of multiple earrings but never had the courage to endulge. I'm destined to be totally conventional.
Julie: How proud you must be to be part of your profession. Thanks for sharing the Iron Ring web site. Jewelry is always "nice," but jewelry that goes past outward appearance and truly stands for something is quite special. Wear it with pride!
Trazzie: You are an inspiration! Such careful planning! Hope you had a great time and were able to keep to the plan!
JJCJ: You are now officially on my "most admired" list. If I had to work around those biscuits at KFC........well, let's just say that particular franchise would be losing lots of money!
Leenie: Sending some love back your way!
