Big Change Small Change

Make a small change or a big change? I have a hard time making small changes. When I decide I need to do something, like lose weight, I can't start small. If I start small, then I feel I'm setting myself up for failure. For instance: if I make small changes in my diet, it makes it easier for me to goof up - and overlook - the goof up. If I do … [Read more...] about Big Change Small Change

Weight Loss Changes

Weight Loss Changes I had a strange experience today. I was walking towards a glass window when I saw someone dressed just like me. Only they were alot thinner. As I approached this stranger, about to compliment them on how well they were dressed, it dawned on me: That's me! I didn't even recognize myself. After I got over feeling … [Read more...] about Weight Loss Changes

One Bright Day

Swimming and Sugar Crashes

Swimming and Sugar Crashes Had another brilliant idea today. Swimming. We have a pool in our complex but I never go because A. I don't have a bathing suit B. If I did I wouldn't go out in public in it. But today I went to a pool party with babyboy and there were several heavy people and those who didn't have a suit, wore shorts and a tee … [Read more...] about Swimming and Sugar Crashes

Getting Ready For School

Getting Ready For School School will be starting next week and we've been busy getting ready for it. The backpack is all ready to go, stuffed with enough school supplies for the year. We don't need to buy clothes this year. I have a slew of shorts that I bought last year that babyboy outgrew the first week. He ended up not wearing uniform … [Read more...] about Getting Ready For School
