Chart for September, 2008


Weight Chart for September, 2008
There's the weight chart for September. The "Flagged" weight was the day that I decided to stop listening to my body (again) because it was lying to me (again.) It was telling me that I was hungry all the time, and far too tired and in too much pain to exercise even the least little bit... So I ignore it. I eat when I plan to eat, what I plan to eat, and (more recently) I exercise whether I think I'm too tired or in too much pain, or not (I don't ignore the pain; I avoid making it worse; but at the same time not moving will, in the long run, make it MUCH worse.) I once heard a most respected speaker in a recovery group say, "Drugs don't give me a craving for more drugs. They cause my body to produce the symptom that only more of that drug will relieve." So it is for me with food; my body periodically informs me that only sugar/carbs/no exercise will cause it to stop feeling whatever the heck it is it's feeling. Am I doing this perfectly? No. Am I a heckuva lot better than I was? You bet.

So there it is. I think I need not have panicked in August; there is hardly any danger of me going anorexic, for the love of Bob.
