What Truly Matters
April 21, 2006Right now, I’m laying on a blanket on my porch, sunlight pouring down on me. One of my two pups is curled up next to me and the breeze is flipping the pages of my "Diet Survivor’s Handbook" (I highly recommend picking one up at your local bookstore or on Amazon.com- whether you are ready to give up dieting or not, it’s been such a revelation for me since I’ve started reading it). I couldn’t tell you what I weighed today, and frankly I don’t care. How could I possibly be thinking about something so trivial as a number when the whole world is smiling down on me? For that matter, how could you either? Before the day is over, do something for yourself that will make you smile, make you happy, make you feel on top of the world. Believe me, it’s a feeling no Twinkie, piece of pepperoni pizza or any food could ever make you feel. You deserve it- we ALL do.
Perfect!
Your on to something!!!

I like your attitude. Sometimes it helps to stop a moment and realize that there are other wonderful ways in which we can satisfy ourselves emotionally, other than by eating. It takes practice for sure.

I just loved your words and also the image they conjured in my mind. Sounds like you found a little oasis in this storm of dieting, my dear. Thank you for sharing!!!

this is the first time i’ve read your blog and have added it to my favorites… i am also going to go buy that book you suggested because i need to get remotivated… i usually don’t have a problem but once i’m off track, i want to stay off track and i hate it… i’ve made great progress and would like to continue so its nice to find someone else sharing the same ups and downs…
