IT'S OVER... IT'S OVER... DON'T SHED A TEAR FOR ME - IT'S OVER. - ELO
IT IS FINISHED. Jesus
Dat Be Dat - my home slices
welp, gang here it is the final installment of the diet. how long we've come what a long and winding road. i have been trying to write this into some maginificent ending... but there really is no ending.
* am i just as pumped up about chick peas as ever? - yes
* THE RINGER - will it live on - of course?
i've hung in there at 15 lbs lost it's gone as high as 19 on a great day but it is of course a work in progress... i love the idea of the 60 day diet... i love all incrimented diets. next the 40 all corn on the cob diet or the 20 day all shredded wheat diet... i am going hog wild with this. even if it's done in 5 day incriments its still being done.
i don't know... what have a learned over this period?
* i know when i'm going off the deep (eating) end - and i know how to stop it!
* repetition is my friend.. repetition is my friend
* being 15lbs lighter has made me feel like no less of a gorgon-ous monster.
* there shant ever be an answer to all of my voids... but i think i'm handling them better now. (only a little better)
* i'm still a lonely person. human contact would be a nice change of venue from the monkey blanket.
* i've found real support in all of my friends. even if they're yelling at me they have my best interest at heart.
* i hate ice cream and pizza
* there are still issues in my life to work on.
* i hate that commercial about toe nail fungus where the guy says "ma' nails" - it really gets to me
* i guess all in all i'm fairly happy.... in the day to day sense...
------ ANYWAY... do i think the diet was successful? sure... could i have done better? yes is it over? no. will it ever be over? no have i found a way to fit this excentricity into my life.. yep. and that has made all the difference.
i''ve written a sort of take off prayer to close this chapter in our relationship... take my hand
"God, give me the strength of an anorexic
the wisdom not to be a stupid idiot
and the courage to say no to so many things" amen.
bye everybody.
