In my last post, I said I would open boxes, yadda yadda. I’m happy to report that I was highly successful at being a non-couch potato person all day.
First, I did spend my time in the half-finished attic, cleaning and organizing, just like I planned. I opened boxes, moved boxes around, designed a new layout [...]

It doesn’t matter which intuitive eating process you choose, how many therapists you do or don’t have, which diet you want to follow.

Everything [...]

I can’t eat little enough to lose weight every day

Overwhelmed by work is my current state. I know I have to keep taking action., but I feel paralyzed. Why? Habit. There are several tasks I can do, and I have lots of freedom to choose what I do every day. There’s even one task that I prefer to do. But I’m still frozen.
My wants [...]

You might remember from my Easter post that I was listening to a couple of podcasts, and could tell some improvement was happening, but didn’t know which podcast was helping.
It seems to be the podcast from Renee Stephens, Inside Out Weight Loss. So far, I’m able to work with the ideas of getting my whole self [...]

Lately I’ve been craving plums. We bought some at the grocery on Saturday, and ate a jar full of plums in juice, plus I’ve eaten at least 3 more fresh ones as well, and we had a plum sauce with chicken on Sunday. Boy, talk about being regular! Feels almost as if I have control [...]

One of my persistent challenges is getting up off the sofa and doing things. Yesterday I successfully broke through my mental block by changing how I think about it.
Frequently I wonder why I come home in the evening, and spend most of the evening on the sofa, playing computer or watching TV. Typical “shut-out-the-world” kind [...]

Enjoy [...]

Every day I focus more on things that are important and less on the trivial
Fear of rejection is a strong emotion that often caused me to binge in the past. The cycle would be: a perfectly normal event occurs - I twist it into a rejection - decide to binge - blame the fantasized rejection [...]

Yesterday’s sadness was good to work through. I feel like I learned something.
Tonight at work I pulled myself out of a funk of feeling not-good-enough by reframing my thoughts. It was arsenic hour, and I was starting to get a little down. Then I remembered “I can take action to change my own life.” So [...]
