Just today, I’m not going to eat between meals and I’m not going to take seconds. And I’ll weigh myself & use the tools and guidance from The Hacker’s Diet to help me reach (and keep) my goal.
Inspiration this morning is by way of our friend Man Eegee:
I was failing that test on how to deal with my stress until I realized that I was allowing it to overpower my will. After that realization that I could choose between dealing in a healthy or non-healthy way, I was feeling much more confident.
Manee has been here from the beginning and his thoughtful comments have consistently been a great source of inspiration to me. But this comment coming on the heals of such a trying week really strikes home. “I could choose,” he said. We’re all trying to find ways to live healthy and control our weight (mostly losing weight or keeping lost weight off.) And Manee’s found an important key. Realization. Choice.
The formula is so simple and we know it by heart: Eat fewer calories than you burn and you will lose weight.
But it won’t happen by accident. And if we let stress control our lives we might not even think about it until it seems like it’s too late to matter. But if we start our day with the realization that we have a choice then we’ve got a hope of being in control. And that’s a terrific way to start a Monday morning. Thank you Man Eegee.

Awwww, glad you found some inspiration in my rambling words. I’ve given up on wishing that my life would be less stressful, as it’s apparent it will remain chaotic for the unforseeable future. So the thing to do, it seems, is to maximize the healthiest ways to deal with it. Exercise, good/nutritious eating that provides lasting energy, and some type of social structure that lets me have fun every once in a while – those seem to be my goals at the moment. (((katiebird))) Here’s to a week full of good choices.

Sometimes the words, “Embrace the ….” echo through my mind. With stress or chaos or pain filling in the blank. Sometimes if I can take big (mental) belly-flop into it, whatever’s haunting me disappears. Or becomes less significant.
(sigh) And sometimes it doesn’t.
But at least we’ve (everyone reading this is absolutely included) got a network of supportive friends. I do believe that helps.
