Fighting the Dark Cloud of pudge!!

I know, I have been AWOL for a while.  Really, my life has been so stressful and my waitte has followed.  Up to 201!  Makes that 197.5 I couldn’t shake look good!  I feel awful and I have been wondering (between breaths) what to do about it.

By coincidence (is there such a thing as a coincidence??) hubby and I have been doing the remaining unpacking to get the place in order to host a small thanksgiving dinner (Mom and my brother).  While unpacking I came across an old Good Housekeeping magazine.  Not a mag I usually read, but something must have made me by it back in March.  Anyway, there was a small article about one woman’s weight loss journey.  (Ok, several articles, but this one was actually more in line with my present thinking).  She said we all do the same thing and we lose and gain back.  What we need to do is have a “talk with our fat”.  We need to figure out what it is “trying to tell us”.  Although it sounds hokey, it made me think of that saying “you are destined to get the same results if you do the same thing over and over again” (or something like that).

So in the silent watches of the morning I started my conversation.  Now, after all these years, I am guessing it is not a simple 5 minute chat - or else we would all do it and address the issue.  But I think I may be on to something here. I definitely think my body is trying to tell me something - or maybe several somethings.

Having said all this about my life, I am overjoyed reading about your successes.  So, don’t think I have descended into the dark dungeon of despair and jealousy.  In all honesty, I think I am too busy right now to descend anywhere!  Instead, I think I am on the brink of one of those self discovery revelations we all get from time to time.

So, happy thanksgiving- even if you are not Canadian!  We are made everything - well except a nice cake I bought for dessert.  Granted I also attempted a pumpkin bread.  I am trying to get the hang of baking with non-wheat flour due to my allergies.  My last experiment was lemony cookies that tasted like lemon flavoured saw dust.  Wish me luck with the pumpkin bread.
