Hump day? Bump day.
So, I’ve been at this whole diet thing for a little over a week now.
(Yes, I know. “Diet” is a bad word. But it’s easier to say “lifestyle change involving journalling, eating less, and exercising more”. Can I just call it a diet? Just for this post? Pleeeeease?)
Anyhow, whatever you call it, I’ve been at it a week and I’m surprised at how much my appetite has diminished. First there was the whole anxiety-driven un-hungriness yesterday (usually I eat my stress, but yes, there I times when instead I feel too stressed to eat). Today, I’m just kinda not hungry. And Zen. I can even feel myself get a little bit physically hungry before I feel any real need to eat.
Un-hungry. Zen. Nice.
Just think – it took about 4 or 5 days of journalling (mostly) until I was eating within my quota. And another 4 or 5 days to be Zen with it. I need to earmark this post for when things get tough, and I lose my groove. Because a week to get it back? I can handle that.

Ok, so you know how they say “if you don’t like the weather, just wait 5 minutes, it will change”? My question is this:
WHAT IF I LIKE THE WEATHER?
(My other question, of course, is who are “they” anyway? They sure have a lot to say.)
What? My point? Of course I have one! My point is, I ate my afternoon snack for lunch, because I wasn’t all that hungry. I just ate my lunch for afternoon snack – a grilled veggie salad packed with beef and mixed beans – and I’m hungrier than before I ate. What is UP with that?? And what happened to my ZEN???
What does your road look like?
Smooth sailing? Or a bumpy ride?

I had to laugh at this (with you not at you!) cos I can completely relate. My day / mood can turn around so quickly. I’ve had a zillion posts that I’ve drafted in one frame of mind and then finished in another. Or… I’ve had to shelve the drafts cos I could no longer relate to the negativity / positivity in the first part of it!
So…. hang in there, I suspect the ride will continue to be bumpy – but ideally enjoyable along the way!

LOL! Feel free to laugh *at* me, at any time, you’ll wind up laughing with me anyhow: I’m usually laughing at myself
. And I came so close to trashing this one, for exactly the same reason!
My road is so bumpy it’s making me motion sick. This will get easier, this will get easier…
What can I do? Give me something constructive, or I will be forced to resort to simple harassment. Crude, but occasionally effective.
