Hunger is a feeling that slim folks observe and do nothing about. I read that somewhere. I believe I have seen my slim friends sit with hunger and just observe it as a feeling. Feelings shift. I see how slim friends allow their 'hunger' to shift gears and become some other feeling, just as clouds shift and change form in a summer sky. These slim friends are not driven to eat to satisfy that 'hunger' that arises in all of us as a feeling, an urge, as we are subjected to ads and other wiley incentives to ingest food beyond our body's basic nutritional needs.

On my best LC days, I have to admit that I still overeat, am still trying to use food to fill some of the empty areas of my life. This must be the final frontier in a LC program. We get ourselves organized around good LC food, then realize we are double-dipping and taking 2d helpings that we can live without. I sure do.

Let's bring out those measuring cups from WW days, if that's what it takes!

I make a fist, sometimes, to remind myself what my tummy can digest well. More than that creates a crowded digestive system, without space to do the work that my stomach is...

Watching an infomercial one day, it dawned on me that a LC life might be viewed according to its ASSETS (habits that profit us even when one is not doing much) and LIABILITIES (that drain or steal assets), just as the concept of assets and liabilities is laid out plain by Richard Kiyosaki in a financial reprogramming book/course: Rich Dad, Poor Dad. Radical notion, first time it hit me!

Yes, when I'm on track, all the world is full of LC insights, glimpses (of what might be) and thrilling epiphanies. Some days are full of great LC visions and awareness of possibilities that form...

Getting ready to go to Disneyland with Jeremy, Ben & Chandra. I'm nervous about not having food choices today, I don't want to mess up! I've been doing so well. Just incase, I'm bringing bacon to munch on. It's not much, but it'll get me thru.

My weight is back up to 271.5 today. It's day 14 and I haven't lost any weight at all this week. This has not happened to me before. I keep telling myself that it's just water, etc. But there's this little voice inside that says what if it isn't? What if this just won't work for me anymore and what if I may as well go ahead and eat those high carb snacks that I've been avoiding for the past 2 weeks? I feel so desperately stuck right now. I just had really high hopes for this 2 week induction period, especially after last week. I thought that I might even hit the 20 pounds lost...
