Just Another Manic Monday
Not that Sunday was a fun day either, but with the Red Sox being World Champions again, I’m not complaining! My father having two stents put in his heart tomorrow, was supposed to be done today, but the doctor couldn’t make it. Thank God it’s not bypass surgery.
I have finally gotten all the gaps big enough for my dog to get under the fence closed so I can let her outside without her running away. She is quite frustrated by it so I’m hoping she doesn’t dig a hole to get out. I’m sick of giving her baths because she’s rolled in something that reeks to high heaven.
This evening is going to be interesting. I am making cookies for a party tomorrow. I really should have stuck with an appetizer, but since I can’t cook very well, that didn’t seem like a good idea. I can bake, though, so I traded with someone. I think I’ll get them all on the parchment paper and then let my husband bake them while I take the dog for a walk. Sounds good anyway.
Earlier I was clearing out some things and came across a box of stationary. I don’t remember the last time I wrote someone a letter. Even my recently deceased Grandmother had e-mail! Why am I hanging on to it? Then I asked why am I hanging on to this fat I carry with me every where? What is it that I think it’s doing for me? I really don’t have the answers. I’m still fighting, but I think I need to get to the bottom of this before I will be able to achieve my goal of being a healthy weight.
I too hang on to old stationary. Something about a personal letter just means more to me than email but we are in a time of convenience now so….
I myself was doing some online research to try and figure out why I still struggle with eating. I found a place that tries to help me understand my emotional eating. Now I forget the website but it did teach me some useful tools to use when I feel like I am going to go on a binge. We will figure this out Diane. I know that you will reach your goals. Just never give up.
Oh and congrats to the Red sox on their big win!!
I think it’s important to understand the how’s and why’s of why we are the way we are. You can’t fix things if you don’t know how you got there. Good luck!!! You sound very positive.
First off, congrats on your Red Sox winning! And good luck in finding the answers you are searching for. I can tell you that it really can be a struggle when you finally reach your goals. I say this not to be discouraging but to be honest because that is what I’m going through now. It’s like I have just stopped doing everything I have learned and going backwards now. Why? So I guess we all have answers to find. But, as long as we keep fighting for the sake of our health and for our families depending on us.
I keep old stationery, too. And even my childhood clothes and books… and the fat, too, lol. I got obese when I was about 9 and all the way through puberty. And I still those very very hard times of my life as a reference point. That’s why I’m not letting go of them. Maybe it’s the same with you?
I hope your father does well today. I’m sure he will and afterwards he can focus on getting healthier.
Good luck to your father with his procedure. I know that I’ve learned a lot about myself since starting this. I think the answers just start coming to us a little more each time we have to deal with the stress of life without drowning it in chocolate cake. It is a real eye opener!!
