I am amazed how much I have to keep myself busy so I don’t eat.  I am currently on here writing because it keeps me busy.  I check my email 100’s of times a day to keep my fingers busy.  I usually have my faithful companion of Caffine Free Diet Pepsi with me.  I am going to refill prescriptions on line when I am finished writing to keep my hands busy.  It is amazing.  Otherwise,  I would find myself standing at the kitchen counter eating whatever I pulled out of the cupboard or fridge.  I am going to the movies and dinner tonight with a friend.  I am not scared.  I have a plan.  And I realllllly want to be under 200 for my birthday in October. 

Want to hear something funny?  I have told NO ONE what I am doing.  You know, working on losing weight.  It’s like I don’t need to discuss it with anyone because I have all of you here and I know you understand each and every word I am saying.  Getting this blog was the best thing I could have done.  Much better than weight watchers, which I cannot get into to save my fat life.  My doctor recommended it to me when I begged for help and I wanted to poke him in the eye.  It doesn’t work for me.  What does work is counting calories.  I think of it like a checkbook.  You start each day with a certain amount of money and deduct from that.  It’s easy for me and I don’t have to think about points.  And no one has to know I am counting calories.  I think I like keeping it a secret better.   It seems like sometimes when people KNOW you are trying to eat better and lose weight, they aren’t very helpful. 

Thanks for listening.  It’s nice here in California.  85 degrees to be exact and cooling to 60 degrees tonight. 

 Kisses!Â
