Well the last of my motley crew left this morning and I am home alone! I love and appreciate that my kids let me see them as often as possible, and I especially have enjoyed how much they enjoy each other. Ad adores D and D just loves Au, S stirs them all up and they all look up to E and G...it does my heart good.
The last few days have gone well, although I have missed going to the Y. They don't open until 9 tomorrow, so will need to go later than usual , but I need to go.
I have been thinking more about what it feels like to have a true, clear hunger and I often laugh right out loud, especially if I'm laying down when I think about it. It feels like my stomach is caved in and hollow, and if I put my hands down to touch my belly to feels the rolls and bulges there, it just seems so incongruent that I laugh!
I have been totally lazy today, watched a movie, did my nails, read and watched my neighbours erect a fence between our properties. (I thought it was a good deal, I paid for the supplies and they did the work!)
I have also decided as I have not heard from the bariatric clinic that I'm going to set another 25 lb goal, just in case that falls through. I hope that the program goes ahead, but I am doing this, with or without them.
In gratitude, elly

I like being home alone. It makes me feel even nicer when I'm not alone.
ReplyDeleteAnd I agree that a new goal is good and 25 pounds sounds reasonable as a new interim. But why not reach for the stars and set the long term goal as well? After all, it's your journey, not the bariatric clinics. They're just one of the resources you will use along the way.
Love
