Thanx A Bazillion :

Hey I just want to do a quick post to thank the BSers who’ve been stopping by and taking the time to leave motivational comments… it really does mean a lot especially right now when I feel too busy to even visit anyone else’s Blogs. I think tomorrow if I wake up a little early at 2 or 3pm I will use the time to visit some of your Blogs and return the favor.

For now, I have to get ready to go to work.

Siren Call

Got home this morning and took some UniSom to get to bed. I slept from about 8am until about 2:30pm so that’s not too bad. My weight is stabalizing around 150-152  depending on when I weigh-in. I really think I’m going to break 150 by this weekend.

Oh but this morning I kept hearing the “siren’s call” to binge… at 10am I actually got up and poured out a bowl of cereal and then had a Hot Pocket going in the microwave… a “Lean Pocket” actually… and I could feel the usual frenzied urge inside my head and I knew it would never ever end at just those two things. So I poured the dry cereal back in the box and when the LP was done in the Microwave I just wrapped it up in aluminum foil and put it in the fridge. I drank a bottle of water and cracked open a Diet Rite and took a few sips on that… I calmed down and went back to bed.

A few hours later I was up again and the voices in my head (not literally, ya’ll) were telling me to eat that Lean Pocket and then work off the calories but I told myself, “No this is not about the calories, or the weight-loss… this is about ending this habit.” and again I went back to bed.

So I’m very happy with myself that I made it through yet another day and fought off a binge.

 In other news…

Job is going well these days. The planes have been doing very very well. My snake won’t eat. He is still a baby and supposed to eat every week or so. I’m still trying…

My wife is sick and I bet I catch whatever she has.

My son is well. And tonite is The Biggest Loser on NBC.
