Actually, that’s an understatement. It’s FREAKING FREEZING.
When I say cold, I mean COLD.
It’s 12 degrees out now and tomorrow’s high is supposed to be 11.
Of course, when I went up to the hospital I was thinking more about being IN the hospital than getting to and from the hospital and didn’t quite dress right. That was a sucky walk. Then I had to go pick up cat food and that sucked. But, I’m home now.
So, I had a mental break-thru yesterday. I don’t go out very often. I’ll eat out occassionally but actually going out with friends or somewhere for a true celebration, I don’t do that very often. Well, yesterday my sister, sister-in-law and I took a friend out for her birthday. We were really trying to make it special for her and I realized (I mean REALLY REALIZED) that it’s OK to splurge when you go out for a celebration. Now, obviously if I’m celebrating every day that’s not OK. But, I don’t. So, when I went out last night I celebrated. I had a drink and didn’t compensate with a lower calorie meal. I ate a slice of cake and didn’t feel guilty (of course I bought the cake and I purchased something I actually wanted).
I got on the scale this morning (I weigh myself almost every day) and it was up a bit from yesterday. But, in the whole scheme of things THAT’S OK. Because what’s the point of being thin if you can’t enjoy yourself, right? When I’ve reached my goal weight I will not stay at that number for every day for the rest of my life. The point is to only let myself go up a pound or two so I can easily get back down quickly.
That’s reality.
I’ve said all this before but it finally clicked.
Update on my dad: he’s still in the hospital but, other than being royal pain in the ass tonight, is doing a lot better. They ran some tests today and found some ulcers which I’m really interested in hearing that they actually compared it to the last time they (other doctor) ran this same test a month ago. They have talked about doing another test tomorrow. We’ll see.

Yeah, you are right… you have to enjoy yourself sometimes. I, unfortunately, enjoy myself ALL the time. *laugh* It’s okay… everything is a slow process. And you, my dear, are doing amazingly good. I’m SO proud of you. Keep up the good inspiring work. Glad to hear about your dad (well, not the pain in the ass part).
