BILL on your 6 year anniversary!! Do you feel that at some point you can say you will never have to battle the weight issue or is that unrealistic to think that could be possible?? Do you connect with the maintainer group that meets here on 3FC?? I recall following quite a few different ones here who lost the weight a few years ago when I first joined and, from what I know, are still keeping it off.
Wistfully, I wish it had been me but several months after I joined here my Mom got sick with cancer and that pulled me away from home here back to being there physically for 3 1/2 months. Then, I was depressed for a chunk of 2009 only to get laid off and finally when I decided to get back on my weight lose journey it was already the summer of 2010. I just hope my life can stay "uneventful" long enough for me to finish this work I started. I am crossing my fingers. With all of these Beck skills, I should feel "confident" that I could lose weight through just about anything but sitting here sick right now, with my mind in a fog, it is hard to imagine
at this moment.
Well, I am "listening" to my body and having mostly carbs the past couple of days but then we all know what that means----- temporary bloat like a blowfish!! Still, I sense my body is happy. It feels happy like if my belly button could talk it would say, "yum, me like!" So, pb on whole wheat English muffins, pecans, banana, raisins (I just didn't assemble them,
Bill, I ate them separately---I keep forgetting) and an apple are my fare right now. Shredded wheat is calling my name right now. Then, bed with clean fresh smelling linens. My indulgence when I am sick.
beverlyjoy I could never imagine me eating under 1000 calories unless I was puking my guts up. [The
snack above I just mentioned was over 1000 calories.] How can you under eat like that and not miss the pleasure of delicious food??? Aren't you worried that you will put your body into survival mode and stall your weight lose? I hope you aren't swinging the other way and becoming anorexic. If you are, let us know. I'll make sure I air delivery you my whole wheat bean muffins along with my whole wheat pizza with a side of fresh fruit to jump start your appetite.
onebyone Great Job in the decluttering!! One word about the potential job interview. Don't mention about the month long residency until after you get the job. I have a friend who tells prospective employers all of her personal vacation plans during the interview (and she gets lots of them too!) and I can tell you: it is an instant job denial every time. I think it is her way of sabotaging getting a job she didn't really want anyway. You just never know. They might actually keep you on and allow you to go in spite of the month long absence, especially if they really like you. Never underestimate the attraction of growing on people. You have a way of doing that you know. I'll pray that you get it. Lord knows(and we do too!), you could use it.
eusebius Yes, it is all about handing everything over to HP. I just wish someone would have told me that out of the gate like 40 years ago. The things that I could have passed on and should have too. OY! So, many things would have been done differently. I am usually clueless about what is in my best interest until I have screwed up several times. Sounds like your life is getting more stressful which is why it is so encouraging to hear that the meditation is going so well.
Plug in to the Source and just go with it like a good wave (
Superchick I'm thinking of you!)
Tazz, missy, gardener, lovely et al I would stay and chat but I am just so tired from this influenza. So,
on the biking, sorry about the allergies and good job in cracking the books!! I am hoping this won't bench me for this coming weekend's plans (lots). "Oh well". In the meantime, have a great day for those who can and for those under the weather----this too shall pass (hopefully without too much gained from it....darn carbs anyway)
