186.0 The Power of ...

It just dawned on me that I hadn't written my post for today, so here goes1 When I got up and weighed myself this morning, happily I was back down to 186.0. Thank goodness! Then I went for a fast 40 minute walk, went to the bathroom (I don't know how else to say this), got on the scale and weighed 185.6!

I am so excited to finally see 185 on my scale. The title of this blog includes the words "a weight loss adventure", and sometimes I refer to it as an amazing journey. It's getting more amazing all of the time as I am now integrating the idea that the more I believe that I can do this, the easier it will be. Today I am a huge believer!

187.4 Food For Thought!

I am staying positive because yesterday, when I didn't write a post, I weighed in at a very pleasing 186.6. And, this morning when I met my friend to take our walk, the first thing she said was how great I looked, and I was wearing shorts! She doesn't read the blog and didn't know of my former discomfort about my legs, etc., so I was very happy. And, I just said thanks instead of going into a long harangue about how uncomfortable I was , blah, blah, blah! There is a new lightness about me now that I "Let It Go!" And, I have truly integrated the knowledge that nobody really cares about all the stuff I carry around about me half as much as I do. Now there's a big admission!

So today I want to mention a book that I have just started working with. My daughter, Alee, suggested that I take a look at it and I am really interested in all it has to say. It is titled Women, Food, and God, and is written by Geneen Roth. She's been writing on women's issues since the mid 80's, in case her name is familiar to some of you. I'd love to hear from you once you have taken a look at it. It has certainly engaged my mind and I think it contains a lot of food for thought! (Yes, I know I did that!)

Hope you've been enjoying this long weekend.
