Not Bad!

Well, well, well...In 4 days I lost 4 pounds which is remarkable considering I have been unable to budge any weight for months. I think the secret is the vitamin B6 and B12 injections that I am getting every other day.

Last Ditch Effort

A few days ago after consulting with others who have done it, I signed up with a famous diet clinic to help me on my way. It will probably end up costing me a fortune but I have been saving just for this. I start the strict plan today. I can't fail at this as it is costing me about $140 a week.

Visualization

I am trying "visualization." This is a method that has been around for a long time. It is regaining popularity with books like The Secret and The Gabriel Method. Basically you think yourself thin and visualize yourself as a thinner person. It can't hurt to try it. I bought the Wii and the Fit. It is great fun.

Last Day with Carbs

Another month of self-loathing. Yesterday was my birthday and I feel like shit. My feet are sore so I did not want to go anywhere for dinner. Instead I had my husband go out for fish and chips. I told him I didn't want them any more after yesterday. Today is family birthday day at my Dad's. We will have mine, both my sisters and my sister in law's birthday today. This is good because I will not be presented with an opportunity for cake for awhile. This is it. I will be on a diet tomorrow and I will not stop. As the feet are still an issue, I will have to find another way to exercise.

In Control? BS!

I have not been in control. I was but I wavered. We are coming up to the birthday season in my family which is never a good time for control but I have to be strong. The feet are still an issue but have been a bit better with the night splints...at least until I start walking around for any length of time.

I am re-reading The Thin Commandments by Stephen Gullo. It is good. I also have the audio version on my iPod so I can listen to him as well. What I need is for someone to follow me around and smack bad food out of my hands! From the ages 16 to 20, I worked after school for Laura Secord. One of my gigs was in their bakery outlet where I was with a bunch of wonderful senior ladies. I had so much fun with them especially my boss Mrs. Roberts. She was lovely and hilarious. If she thought I (or any of the other ladies) had had enough sweets, she would go so far as to wrestle it out of our hands. Some days we laughed so much our sides were aching. I need a Mrs. Roberts now.

Cashews

Some wag at the office brought in chocolates today. I managed to resist them but later I went for a walk and bought some cashews. I didn't eat too many but probably more than I should have. Since I have been walking more and I am overweight, I have developed plantar fasciitis in both feet although one foot is worse than the other. It puts a crimp in my exercising.

In Control

My diet resolve can be summed up with the mantra "I am in control." And I am. I am the only one who controls what I eat. I am trying Lean for Life again so I am on the initial 3 protein days. I am doing ok and every time I want to eat off plan, I just tell myself again that I am in control.

I have been having some foot problems which are probably plantar fasciitis. It interferes with the exercise. I'll try to do better with the posting.
