I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds. And I’ll use the guidence and tools from The Hacker’s Diet to help me stay on track.
For the first time since I started tracking my weight trends, my sinkers are pulling me down! I had no idea how good that would make me feel.
(I’ve got a confession — I wrote the above this morning. But I stopped writing to finish reading a book. I’m a book slut and sometimes when I’m reading I just can’t stop. And today, I almost called in sick to finish reading Bet Me by Jennifer Crusie. Could a person be more pathetic? In my defense, it’s a perfect fluffy book. Crusie is a genius at writing dialog. The good characters are funny and the bad ones are horrible.)
Anyway, then I had to go to the doctor and a bunch of errands and with one thing or another I’m about 8 hours behind schedule.
My pleasure about my sinkers sinking stuck with me through the day. And when I was standing at the checkout counter dreaming about the candy bars, I stopped myself by thinking how much more they’d sink if I didn’t have any candy today. That they might not actually rise by having one little candy bar (or even two?) but (I thought) wouldn’t they sink even more tomorrow if I stayed good today?
I guess we’ll find out soon enough. In the meantime, I’ve got a book to finish!

OK KB, what is a sinker ? Sorry to be so dense, but I am struggling to understand in my post-colonoscopy fuzziness here !
(It’s all good news on the colonoscopy, a huge relief since there’s a major family history of colon cancer.)
Hi catdog, I’m glad about the colonoscopy news, we’ve got a history of colon cancer in our family too. So I’ve had several colonoscopies already. I know the fear.
The sinker was a reference to an earlier story, Encouragement and a warning (link)
It’s about using The Hacker’s Diet tools to plot weight trends with moving weighted averages.
I’ve finally been tracking my trends long enough to see real improvement.
