I Can Eat Anything I Want and Still Lose Weight.

Week 11: weight 187, 11 pounds down and 19 to go.

I am surprised by the my steady weight loss now! I weigh myself all the time but only record the Wednesday morning (naked on bathroom scale after urinating) weight. This is the only way I have found to not get discouraged by the water weight fluctuations we all experience throughout the day and week. Now that I am in a habit of exercise, I think that I have gained a metabolism momentum which should carry me to my goal in mid-August without too much fuss.

I also play a couple of self-talk games with my self. I repeat to myself. "I can eat anything I want and still lose weight." Funny, I find myself not wanting stale donuts. I also tell myself, "Exercise is fun, and makes me feel better." I look forward to going to the gym when I can.

On Tuesday I went to court and my divorce was granted. Of course, just like when I was married, I experienced a mixed bag of emotions, but mostly relief. I will just wait for the final decree. I still feel some obligation to my ex for my children's sake, and just because we were married for, officially, 18 years. (Oh that can't be right, did I really waste that much time?) Well, maybe not completely wasted. I did build a career, and raised children; though they tell me that their lives began after we ran away from their dad. Have I really not had sex in 2 years now? Thank goodness for Chris and an active fantasy life.

Oh dear, now maybe I've said too much!

It's a beautiful spring day today. Bless you all!
