Whatdoyouwant

I think I should post something. Just check in. Maybe I'll say: "Hey", "HI!" "How are you all?" Or " Hey, Yall"

Actually "Hey, yall" would be what I would say in 'real life'.

I got on the computer at about 9:30pm and read just 1 blog and then linked to another blog and then another few posts on that blog and then to a website of the British plus size line of clothes Simply Be where I have been for 40 minutes.

Hmmph,this is not how I planned to spend my night. I'm not ordering any clothes , but I like to look and imagine. Much cuter clothes than here is the US.

Food/weight wise/health wise-I am having to remind myself to repeat the mantra "What do you Want?" so that I can remind myself not to over eat. And not even having excessive amounts of food, I mean trying to eat the right portions for my bodily needs. I am eating too much food for my body. I can just tell. If I were exercising at the intensity that I did last year it would be fine. I am finding that when something tastes really good it is hard to stop. Not to mention when you get a 'hankering' for something. So I repeat over and over Whatdoyouwant?whatdoyouwant?whatdoyouwant?whatdo you want?

Tonight , I wanted hot and sour soup and a little brown rice and veggies from Lin's Chinese. I ate the right size portion . I have leftovers for tomorrow. I wasn't hungry and I wasn't full. I was just right. But it tasted so good that I did want more. But I didn't have it.

"whatdoyouwant?" Well, I don't know exactly. But I'm glad that I am remembering to think to say it to myself. To put that pause in there. I don't think I really know exactly what I want. But at least being aware of this and being able to stop when I want to keep eating is a good thing.

My Kindle in bed awaits me -reading time. I call that Bed Bye Time.

  1. Repeating the mantra "What do you Want?" is what I'm trying to do more and more. It's hard because sometimes what I want is a plate of chocolate decadence and a bottle of wine... but I know that [what I really want is AND] I'll be happier with healthy eating choices and a bit of exercise.
    So I keep asking myself, "Whatdoyouwant?"
