Oh, my cat! I wish there was good news about my weight loss. Truth is, there IS no weight loss. I like eating too much, It’s my greatest pleasure. I don’t smoke, I don’t drink, and I don’t run men (or women, for that matter. Eating’s all I have. Except, wait! There are computer games! I have computer games. But computer games are an addiction. That’s not good. At least I’m not eating when I’m playing games. Oh, my. What to do? I have two new dresses I can’t wear because they’re about 15 pounds too small, and at this rate, I’ll never be able to wear them. They are…

The world is reopening. At least, it is for me. A little. I’m back at work at the antique shop one day a week. It’s a good thing. Now, for a while at least, I’ll have five days a week with nothing on the schedule, and the “routine” thing is still working fine. The weight thing, however, is NOT working fine.

For the first two weeks after the closing, I was lost. Without direction. I ate everything in sight. Not good. Then, EVERYTHING shut down.

I have LOTS of time at home to work on a myriad of tasks, as I unclutter my tiny home. Turns out, I’m more of a loner than I…

When I asked my daughter, “What is a character flaw of mine that others can see but I can’t see as clearly?” her instant response was “hypocrisy”. She said I’m a hypocrite. My car tag says, “Be Well”, she said, but I don’t make choices that enable me to be healthier. It was hard to hear, but within a week, I could see she was right. For twenty years, I’ve tried to discipline myself and failed to become healthier in any of the ways I need. I’m trying something new now, (actually several things, both old and new), and I feel the need to be accountable to someone other than…
