Sometimes, I don't have the time, or spiritual ability to go to all my sites! But I try to do the best that I can. Also to give encouragement to others, and to be able to get encouragement back.
I am watching my carbs closely, and to make as many good choices as I can. If I eat a bread, or a snack/treat, I make sure if is one that will satisfy, and fulfill me the most! I am trying to get at least a certain amount of walking done, when I can. Many things are a habit, by doing them it becomes a bit easier for the next time! I am trying to take it slow and steady. Not to feel deprived, but not to go overboard as well!!
For me it is bills time, yuck! I need to sit down and do it, again! Seems we just do the house bills for the month, and here we go again!! I am going to concentrate on the happiness of the holiday, like I said. And seeing Christmas through my grandsons eyes! If you are too young yet, I cannot even begin to tel you the happiness of that experience. It does not even measure up to when I had my own! It is so much more than ten fold!!!
I would love to be able to take pictures again, to wear my rings, and jewelry again, to be able to wear my smaller size clothes again!! The happiness of doing all that again!!! I did go a bit over board on cutting my hair, shorter than I wanted to. My fault I kept telling the beautician to go shorter!
It will be hard with Christmas/Holiday baking, for I can't get out of it!! My daughter says but it is a tradition, and at my house. i don't have the heart to tell her NO!! And what will I accomplish with that but that I do not have a handle on things. Or it is okay to feel deprived, and starved all the time. On the contrary, I always ask her, have you eaten enough!! I know after a while it kind of gets old, and dry! But, in the back of my mind I want her to eat healthy, and never acquire eating disorders. For when she was a teen, she use to be pale as a ghost. I use to run out and buy her vitamins, now I need to remember to take mine each day!
If we can just remember Christmas is an eating day just like any other day of the year, maybe we can control ourselves so we do not have to over eat! After all the next day will come, and we can eat again!! It is just this all or nothing philosophy that we have in our subconscious!
Sometimes you just want to say where is that bottle of OUZO, okay I do need it for the cookies, but sometimes a small sip from the bottle is needed, now and then for those nerve wrecking days!! Just don't make it a habit!!! Desperate times call for desperate measure, and so many times looking at this concept, i just want to say, but that was never me!! When push comes to shove, and you have psychiatrist put a violin to his had, an invisible one, and say whaaa, well, then, that does it!!! I just looked at his square and serious in the face, and eyes, and said, I don't want anyone's pity!! God made this Greek gal a tough cookie, meaning not the ones we eat at the holidays. Except for my powdered sugar ones, those I want firm-in between!! God has given us more strength than we realize!!! Time we realize it!! No one can save us except us! But, isn't it nice when we can reach our hands out for that loving hand? And touch the hearts, and lives of others?
Off I go to do the bills!!
