Just do it!

I've got to stop making big proclamations, especially those that revolve around "milestone" days. I know that there are no "magic" days that will turn my life around. A date on the calendar can't do that; only I can, with God's help, of course. And that help is there; all I have to do is listen for His word and obey it.

After my big speech on Friday, I had much stress with my parents on Saturday and plowed my way through the refrigerator. I lost the battle of trying to get my parents to do what the doctors prescribed, and gained two pounds in the process. I know I have to just let it go, what will be, will be, etc.; but I feel like I must help them, they won't let me, and things are going steeply downhill.

Anyway, after that, I did well until last night, when there was a little stress eating (same subject). But I did make some progress, and this morning I weigh 221 1/4. Yea! I tried to make good food choices, added a little protein, and, (except for last night), didn't eat after dinner. Now I need to work on exercise and sleep, battling laziness and nightmares! And to remember to breathe!
