6/24 Today I will...

It was my dream as I grew up to be a psychologist  :)  By the time I was 12, I had my full college class list made out and ready to go!  As I got older though I realized that while I'm caring and good with people I internalize EVERYTHING!  I would ******vous wreck in no time  :) I do enjoy being a "shoulder" though for folks so if you ever need that shoulder or a sounding board, feel free to holler  :) I very much admire the way that you go right in for the kill  lol  I tend to let things linger and that allows them more control over me.  I've read from quite a number of folks that depression is very common...  you are basically in mourning for your former best friend "FOOD" ... and when I thought about it, it made perfect sense.  I "lost" something that I had taken to heart and LOVED for my entire life.  Therefore I had to go through the grief process.  There was denial, anger, regret, crying and finally acceptance. and FYI the egg salad was as good as I had hoped  :)  I used a pastry blender to chop the egg so it left it a bit coarser than normal  :)

Lori~Speaking of class lists for a degree in Psychology I just made my list for the electives I get to take and I have twice the number of what I need!  I know that I will need to narrow it down, but I feel it may come down to what classes are offered and fit in my schedule.  I have it figured out and I should be able to graduate with my BA in Psychology in three years taking 2 classes a semester to avoid burn out!  I used to internalize things, but in the growing I have done in the last year I have learned to have good solid boundaries.  I was in Barnes & Noble today looking for any books that deals with our relationship with food and how to make it health and came up empty handed so I am off to the good old internet to search.  I have really been struggeling with the snacking that I started so I have severely limited my snacking and am now monitoring my caloric intake as well as i fear it was getting wildly out of control again.  If you know of any books that deal with this topic I'd love to hear about them.
