  1. Peek-A-Boo

    I can tell that folks are reading my dribble or at least clicking through. Feel free to comment, hang out a minute or even give feedback. I promise I don't bite not even through SAD withdrawls.

    RELEASED 8.2 since I began on Saturday 9/15. Not bad for 4 days but I definitely need to tweek some things today. Found myself overdoing the seaveed stuff and raisins.

    A little weary today do to mental chatter and fighting the urge to eat when bored. it's amazing how many times a day eating comes up for me and all without and actual hunger need.

    Need to be sure to get in a orage tommorow so I won;t eat so many raisins while trying to get a sugar fix. It's amazing how much texture, variety and quamtity it take for me to fill satisfied even when I am not hungry.

    So glad I made it.

    Tommorow will be more rawlicious!

  4. Epiphany

    So I'm in bed this morning providing myself with a lot of self talk and a new script regarding food. When suddenly it dawns on me that there are a lot of foods that I have stopped eating over the years for various reason that I don't miss or ever think about. Many from childhood that I just don't have a taste for and others that somewhere in the last 5-15 years I made a conscious effort to forgo.

    Goal: Below 200

    I've been overweight for about 8 years the last 3-4 of which I have been obese. Not sure how I got here. Well yes I am.
