Good Thursday Morning

Feeling good this morning. Knee is feeling sore, but not actually pain. I am calling the insurance company today, and I have to go the Social Security office today. (may God have mercy on my soul) I hate to wait, so this ought to get me in a really good mood. I am just going to be cool, bring a book, and chill! we'll see what happens. Read lots of good things to get me going this morning. I loved Carla's last 2 posts. She has hit the nail on the head. This food addiction thing is totally centered in my mind, not in the food. This I know to be true. Then my mind tried to tell me that it's ok, I can handle a little sugar without binging.... it's a total mind F**k. Gotta love the brain. I have been trying this super juice called Exfuze. I wasn't very hungry yesterday, we'll see if it happens again today. Truely, if I only ate when I was hungry.....I wouldn't be a Fatty Mcbutterpants! Can I get an AMEN. I am hoping to have my computer at work fixed today so I can post some more. KEEP INSPIRING ME!!!!

    Food is purely emotional for me!!!!! Maybe, you can find something else to do when you feel that urge to eat. I love to scrapbook...so sometimes I'll do that. Sometimes I'll just tell myself...I am worth more than that donut, those chips or that piece of cake!!!

    You totally have my "AMEN"...because I am totally a food addict. I don't eat only when I'm hungry...I just eat because I love food. I love the tastes and textures! I'm a total addict! But, this is a mind game. Mind over matter! (or in this case, mind over food!)

    We can overcome this!

    Thanks for the heads up that you were the one that I was talking about in my post...I've gone back and linked that post into my entry!

    That's why for me eating 5-6 meals a day works best, I can graze all day because even when I'm not hungry I want to eat. It's definitely a mental game. Hang in there, you're doing it.

    I do best when i stay away from sweets all together!The craving eventually subsides. But if i have a little bit its like i have to conquer the craving all over again.
    I loosened up the reins over the holidays and boy was it hard to get it back together again. But i feel more and more in control all the time. Jinx!

Contentment at last

Oh my goodness!!  I can't beleive how long it's been since I haave posted here.  So maybe things have changed.  The month I moved in with my son and daughter in law, a friend from high school asked if I wanted to be a "Granny Nanny" for her 86 year old mother.  It would mean moving back to my home town and living with the woman.  I didn't hesitate.  I had a good feeling about it from the start, so I went for it.  So, as of the first of October I have been residing in a cozy little home in Orem, UT.  The woman is just a sweetheart.  So easy to please and I feel so comfortable.  The pay is great too.  I like living with someone and it has just been a win/win.  I love my surroundings.  I love the mountains, the memories, being around my extended family.  My sister lives here, as does my aunt, a ton of cousins on both sides of the family.  Of course the downside is I am away from my kids and my grandkids.  I miss them terribly, but at the same time I feel like this

A Traditionally Built Woman

I am listening to the latest No. 1 Ladies Detective Agency books. Blue Shoes and Happiness. They are sweet simple stories about a woman in Botswana Africa. She is a "traditionally built" woman. This means of course that she is heavy. I have never seen the show on HBO, but I love the books. In this book she decides to go on a diet. All her litle "insights" about going on a diet are cute....and so true. My favorite is how it's human nature that when you decide to restict ANYTHING you always end up wanting more of it. How she thought that was funny, until she herself was on a diet, now not so funny. How she gets crabby when she's hungry. I could so relate and it made me smile. People, we are more alike then we are different. The book is written by a white man, which I think is great. See, more alike then we are different. I have my grandkids birthday party today. My daughter, "C," is doing 2 kids in one party. They are still young enough that they don

Dana Does Cancer

Good Morning! It's been a long time since I used this blog. I've decided that I had so much success using this blog as a tool to lose 100 pounds, I'm going to blog my way as I fight cancer To The Best of My Ability. Yep, it looks like I have rectal cancer. There is a 20 mm tumor in the old poop shoot. Just shows Heavenly Father has a sense of humor. Seems a fitting consequence for being an asshole for the first half of my life. (my two children will verify this) The good news it's not gone to the lymph nodes per the CT scan, I will get the results of a PET scan, along with a port for chemo Monday or Tuesday. And so it begins... I have every reason to be optimistic. It's still early. I'm still  going to need radiation and chemo to shrink the tumor and wait 5-6 weeks and have a resection, then more chemo is needed. I am grateful for health insurance, though I can't work for at least six months, maybe more. When I went to the surgeon on Friday he told me I
