This is a journal to help me learn LC tactics and to record LC success as 2007 draws to an end and 2008 looms large and hopeful ahead of me.
Wish me luck! Luck?
Ah, luck is the residue of design.
Found that in a fortune cookie, ages ago.
Fits into the LC mantra about how failing to plan is planning to fail. So my plans start out each day with a hot slosh of WPP+cocoa+espresso+VCO so that I start off feeling like a LC success. Yay, me!

Reality ~ as in scales, weighing...AGH!!!

Just ordered scales as a way of admitting that I am COMPETENT to manage a weight-loss program by facing facts daily. Yes, I've been talking about buying scales someday, like when I hit 199#. But fact is that at 64 I am easily twice that weight, give or take a stone (14#) or two. I'll find out for sure in a few days, when my talking scale arrives. Happy b'day to me!
I'm near tears with gratitude for the support LC lists offer. I think I am not at all used to such support and it is taking me time to adapt to what is available in online support. Thank you, all of you who offer your weight info - both the gains and the victories great and small in whittling away at weight that is persistent.
I so appreciate the boost that got me online to order scales today. With scales for a reality check daily, I can maybe learn to care more about myself as I accept support online and report my actual numbers as I fight to build healthy LC habits into my unstructured life.
Nothing but time on my hands. I can find a way to exercise SOME, to walk just a LITTLE, to manage my food so I am better prepared to nourish my cells several times a day. I can!
Clearly, I am deficient in offering myself good support. Like, no scales. Sigh. Denial is not just a river in Egypt! Scales are a tool. I can learn to use this tool. I can learn. I can. I hope so.
I feel so sad about my failure to weigh, to admit I need to weigh. I can feel how right it is, to own scales and to truly "own" my body's weight. I'm taking steps today to change how I manage my LC program. Yay, me! Yay, Dr.Atkins! Yay, all of us who struggle together!

Hi Zer!
I don't know what's going on or why you haven't been around but I hope everything is okay. |

333# and back online with my LCFriendsI was offline for several months, moving and dealing with severe health issues. Am now full of morphine for pain and am back online as my family and I put my affairs in order. Now that the pain is medicated, I am able to sleep - which I'd not been able to do for a couple of painful years. I'm back in touch with my LCFriends now!
Thank you for your support and for caring. It all helps. Life is considerably lighter now. Thanks! |
