Mom has been cleared to use her arms again. So that means that I can stay home (my home) for awhile. We put back her eye surgery for a couple of reasons. 1) To let her get some independance back, and 2) she was all broke out on her face and didn't want to mess up the surgery with stuff falling in her eye.
Now that I'm back home, the temptation to eat is back. I have been doing really good with my Lent commitment of no rice, pasta, bread, or sugar. It wasn't until I got home, that I was craving sugar again. I don't know what I would have done a few times if I didn't have my sugar free chocolate pudding!!! I still have to watch that though, because it turns into wanting more!!!!
So my plan for staying away from eating is I'm fixing up the house. I am currently repainting the bathroom. I'm doing it right too. Spackling all of the holes, sanding down the rough spots, taking down all of the shelves, and curtain rod. I am hoping to be able to have some friends come over for Easter for a BBQ. It's a long shot but I have decided that Jim and I, especially I, need to have friends and people around me. We haven't been able to have people over to our house for 9 years. We have two friends that have been over but that's it!!! I am trying to get a handle on my hoarding issues too. Nothing like taking on the world right?!?!? If you don't understand that comment, let me just readers digest it for you. I have given up eating rice, pasta, bread, and sugar until April 4th, I am redoing our bathroom, cleaning out a hoarders house and getting a handle of all of that emotional mess, and I'm trying to have a BBQ by Easter!!!! Not to mention I still have to move forward with my weight loss. No stress here. LOL. Actually, there isn't any stress so far, it's only day two!!! I CAN do this though!!!! If I want it, I WILL MAKE IT so!!! And I REALLY want this!!
As a start of my renewal of myself, I have done a few things that I haven't done for awhile. First, I went and got my hair cut the way I really like it. Sort of mullet style but I don't care I love it!!! Secondly, I bought myself a new blouse. It is sort of form fitting and doesn't hang on me like an old t-shirt!!! I am trying to put me first, well not really, I guess I should say, I am trying to build up my own self worth!!! Time to get back to the happy go lucky Tristine that was okay with the way she looked and felt. It's only taken me 15 years to get here but I think I'm going to make it this time.
I was stong enough to watch my mom and sister eat cookies, ice cream, and cake in front of me for a month, I should have no problem with the tasks I've given myself now.
CARPE DIEM!!!!! I WILL sieze the day!!!!
