mind your own business

Life is not fair. It's not suppose to be. As soon as I accept that the happier I will be. I have let something have control over me this past weekend. I hate feeling all resentful and hateful. It truly makes me sick to my stomach. Is the person that upset me, upset? HELL NO.

I almost have to laugh. I spent all weekend in a food/sleep fog trying to just check out of those feelings. I fixed a big pot of WW chili and that's what I ate all weekend. Minimize the damage. I could feel a food binge coming on, so I figured I could binge on good stuff as well as McDonalds, so I went the chili route.

I walked both mornings. This morning I was up and ready to go with my buddy. It felt good. I did make it to church Sunday and to my daughter's after church, so I guess it wasn't a total fog....lol. Just felt like it. It's been actually cold in the morning. 48 degrees this morning! Brrr!

I am sure I will show a gain tonight, but it is what it is. If I could hold to even 5 of the 7 lbs I lost last week I will be happy. Last week weigh-in was a gift! I went and did a little shopping over the weekend as well. I starting to feel like myself again. Whoever she is???? LOL.

Today I set my intention to not worry about what others do. I am going to live my life as best as I can today. I have to live with me and my choices. The most important person I have to please is myself. What others do is none of my business.

Keep the mood and food real.......mind your own business

    MYOB applies to me. One of the reasons I've cut waaaaay down on blogging. My buttons were being pushed all over the place and I was driving myself nuts being concerned about it all. NOMB.
    I'm happier being in my own little bubble not worrying about others and what they do.
    I love your last paragraph and agree with Roxie. :)
    Hugs to ya, Dana

    It was 17 degrees here this morning. And it's currently only at 42. You're right. Life isn't fair. But we always have the power to choose how we respond to all the unfairness. I'm glad you're feeling better today.

    Just stopping by from Roxie's to say hello. Our reading taste is very similar. I've got "Drown" sitting on my shelf to be read.

    Sorry to hear that you were in a bit of a 'fog' this weekend. Kudos to you though for recognizing it and knowing that you would be tempted to binge (comfort eat) and take steps to be surrounded by healthy foods.

    I'm trying to remember that when my life is spinning out of control, I can STILL have control of my eating. And that empowers me!

    There is nothing worse than getting po'd and the other person is blissfully unaware. Those are the best times to forgive and forget...or as I like to do, assign them some sort of terminal personality defect and use that as an excuse to feel sorry for them...lol. Whatever works. Just read you reached onederland...congrats. I am almost there. I weigh in for the month tomorrow and I have no real clear clue as to what I weigh, here's to hoping.

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 m...

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...
