What we are eating,and whats eating us,Saturday...

Hi Brenda,
I can so relate to your story about Bill.  When Matthew ****** me off I have to really work hard on reminding myself not to change my eating habits because I'm mad at him.  I sometimes stand there talking to myself (in my head) saying I really don't want to eat this because it will only make me mad and disappointed at myself.  Then I'm mad at him and mad myself!  MEN..........UGH!!!!!!

Anyhow, don't beat yourself up over the buddy bars.........at least it was only 2.

Hope today is a better day all around......

Ruth

Brenda,I am so sorry to hear that you and Bill are in turmoil. It is not like the two of you. I think financial stress is getting to both of you.
We are used to punishing ourselves and I do believe that is what you are doing,you are not at peace with yourself when your household is like this. I know you love  this man,and love is the most important thing in this world.
I believe this will pass,please try to not add to the fire. Turn to the love of your God,take council with your pastor,and go into your closet,think and pray,I know you know what I am talking about.
There is no such thing as too many tomatoes and they are cheap right now,we should eat them everyday.
Think to yourself,"If I am so right,why am I so unhappy".
I have lost something precious to me,I do not want this to happen to you. Hell,soon we will have to set up a communal house for wayward weight losers.
Seriously Bren,you are worth more than this,you deserve better than this,and you hurt because this man has hurt you. The only people who can really hurt us are the people we love.
I had to make a choice,to support a wayward daughter in all her actions,or to make sure my innocent grands would be raised right by putting her in a position where she will be monitored for the rest of their young lives. I know I made the right choices,although I have a lot of mental pain.
What is causing your pain dear Brenda?
I love you.

Dear Jacki,how wonderful you sound. I had no idea you have not been focusing on you! You do not say much...smile.
May this continue for you. I am committed to eating better today as my pouch and nerves seem to be settling. This is the grief process for me,and must be walked through.
I do believe if you focus on doing the good things,your body will settle to where it is supposed to be.
Pamper yourself girl!

Happy Saturday from granola land,
Good day yesterday.  Made a big batch of wild boar sausage chili that I plan to serve to my friend Steve this evening and have saved some for my housemate since he supplied the sausage.  Today begins deer season so Kevin (the housemate) is off in south county with his rifles and buddies.  Hope he brings home the venison but not another head to mount for his room that already looks like a zoo (bucks and birds and boars, oh my).  Steve and I are supposed to meet at Blues in the Park today.  Then he'll follow me home since my place is a little tricky to find.  I want to get his ideas on a possible bathroom remodel.  Thats my story and I'm sticking to it.

Yesterday's food was pretty good:
B coffee and pbut/jam on whole wheat toast
L chili and a fudge cycle
D pork with brocoli and mashed potato
S 2 bourbons at the American Legion but lots of dancing to work it off 

Today I plan to clean house, lay in the sun with a magazine and do some garden watering.  Maybe see a movie with Diana.
Love, light and laughter,  CV Linda

S: I'm thinking more banana

Ok Jeannie,first response zoomed off to cyberland! I said you have some yummy eating going on! I have 5 bananas that are just starting to spot,I do not think I can get down more than one today. I am thinking about making a wls friendly banana loaf,I have some unsweetened apple sauce and some whole almonds I may chop,along with some Pam,a little brown sugar,a bit of flour and Splenda,and I may have a good healthy loaf to enjoy. My cooking is like Cajun Angel's,a little this a little that,until it feels right.
Have a good day lady!

Linda,

Greetings from Seattle!  It was 93 degrees in TN when I left, and in Seattle it's about 53 degrees right now.  We went to Mt. Rainier today - saw a lot of fog, and one stunning glimpse of the mountain.

S: iced skinny latte
L: salmon cake, green salad with blackberry vinaigrette
S: iced skinny latte
D:  ?  out to eat

My hostess here, Lisa, has several cats and two wonderful dogs (miniature schnauzers).  I feel right at home because the dogs insist on coming to the bathroom with me, just like my gang does.
