I think I am in luuuuuv!!!
Yep. Its true…
I reconnected this week with a dear old friend…And I fell head over hills in love…
AGAIN!
He’d gone missing many months ago…Probably because I lied to him…Treated him poorly…And basically ignored him for weeks on end…
When he left, I thought “Hmphf…I dont need you…Not really…”
I thought “You are sooooo last year…”
I thought “I will show you…”
I was ever so wrong…
Who is this mystery man????
Why, he is no man at all…
He is my beloved food journal… :razz:
Thats right…My food journal and I parted ways many many months ago…I said it was a mutual decision…But I lied…
I think I just got tired of all his truthy-ness…Didnt want to see it. Hear it. Write it…
So this week, as I embraced my new determination and found my new motivation to LOOK GREAT in 08!!!!!!! I tracked him down, once again…
He had moved to a secluded, desolate spot on top of my fridge…It was lonely up there, but he said the view was amazing!!!!! :lol:
I asked him if he would take me back…And he did…Arms (pages?) open wide…
And in just four days of journaling regularly, I have once again fallen in love…
Sure. Writting everything sucks.
Sure. It can be time consuming.
Sure. There are days I dont like what it says.
BUT……………..For some reason…If I see it in print, (Miss Visual here) It is more real to me…
For some reason, when I see that I have reached 1300 calories, I simply stop…
Without my journal, I cant seem to stop eating…
I continually try to push the boundaries of this relationship. I continually try to go it alone without his help…And yes, I continually fail…
For, I fear, he and I will be lifelong companions…
Without him, I stumble…
With him, I can take on the world…
Welcome back my luv!!! I look forward to our evening encounter…
Good for you. Sometimes we have to go back to what works even though it might be time consuming. It doesn’t have to be forever but long enough until we reach our goals and maybe bring it back every so often after that. Have a good one!
Nice relationship you have going right now - hope you guys stay together for a long time! Do let us know where you register if it should go that way
Well, I see that people started talking about LOVE. Valentine’s day is coming.
You sound like you are in a good place right now.AWESOME!
very cute………I agree with you 100 percent journaling is key……when I think of picking something up to eat that I shouldn’t…….first I say this is a lot gonna add a lot of numbers…..if its a food mixture……..its like how am I gonna figure out this one…..haven’t named my journal yet…….I did come up with a name for my navigaton device…….Shanaynay….she’s a typical the more you go off course the terser her voice gets…..love getting nag by a computer voice….
I admit it, I have been avoiding the journaling!! You’re an inspiration, Dawn - I will start “falling in love all over again” too!
Journaling is time consuming and I really don’t like it. But you know what? It helps a lot. Something about seeing what you have eaten that day helps and motivates. Thanks Dawn for the reminder.
gary
Good job, you had me going there for a sec, lol. I do love my food journal and couldn’t do without it!
I love it girl. And unlike many men, this new love of yours will not cheat, he will always be honest, albeit at times, brutally so!! Enjoy your newfound love!
Wait…are you guys having make-up you-know-what?
I dont kiss and tell Jo Jo!!!!
should this blog have made me blush lol too funny dawnie…I agree I am back on with the journaling and man oh man it sure makes a difference! You go girl!
Sounds like this is a much needed relationship. I’m glad you’ve both found your way back to each other…may it last a long time and may you both find bliss in each others’ company.
