I mailed the Y application today. I haven't left the property since church last Sunday, and will not be leaving again until this Sunday, if I want to walk to church. None of this has anything to do with weight, but I just needed to say it.
You may notice we have a new contributor, welcome MELANIE! Whoop-whoop!
In talking with Mel today I had an epiphany....hunger feels a lot like uncertainty. I'll just let you all soak that up for a moment.
Hunger feels a lot like uncertainty.....so profound. I could replace Oprah.
So what does this mean for me? Wellllll, it means that I've been trying to bury feelings of uncertainty under pounds and pounds of food, hoping that it will make me feel better, but which inevitably makes me feel sick instead. So I try to bury THAT feeling....just a nasty, nasty downward spiral. However, since I am now armed with this knowledge, and knowledge is power I can break the cycle of abuse! (of my body).
Of course it also means I now have to deal with what the uncertainty is all about, but at least I won't be getting fat(ter) on top of it.

Oooohh, you're so intuitive!
At least you're not getting fatter? That's great! I wish I could tell a difference but maybe when I get down to where you are I'll feel something different when I lose weight.
Hopefully you figure out your uncertainty. And good for you walking to church. That's exercise no matter how you look at it.
Oh, and welcome Melanie!
I look forward to seeing you on screen each day at 4:00PM. What a way to brighten my day. (Is Oprah on here at 4:00? I know that is what time slot she had in Utah but I have not kept up on it, obviously). Thanks for the insight as well. There is so much uncertainty in my life as well. No wonder I can't stop eating.
Good for you and the Y membership. They have some REALLY good classes there all day long. Take your pick. I love classes. For me they are motivating because #1 there is a set time....you have to be there. #2 someone comes up with the workout....you just have to tag along #3 you can still take them at your own pace (whether softer or harder). Good luck. i am still up for evening walks if you ever choose to.
