Some Thoughts

Well, I've been doing really well - out of the past 9 days, I've gotten stickers for 8 of them - so that's awesome. BUT, I'm not getting a sticker today. I had a bit of a stressful afternoon, and really really wanted to eat everything in sight. The good news? I didn't - but I did end up using my points up by 7 pm and then I did eat another 4 points. And so I'll use some of my flex points for them. And I know that that is totally okay and totally allowed, but in order to get a sticker for the day, I have to write my points down and stay within them... so thats that. Tomorrow, I'm planning on getting a sticker again.

Meanwhile, I have a few other things I wanna talk about here. First of all - I love that there are a few new people that peeked in on me coming from Amanda's blog! The more people, the more accountability, I think. Thanks for your comments!! :o)

Secondly, I have a PVR (what do they call that in the states - a Tivo??) anyway, and I can record tv and so i have it set to record my favorites, including Oprah everyday. And I just got around today to watching Oprah's show from last week's Monday (January 5th) in which she talks in great honesty about her recent weight gain in the past few years and what she's going to do about it.

And if you are AT ALL someone who struggles with weight - you NEED to see this show. Download it. Do something - just see it. Please. PLEASE! Oprah is so honest and real about her struggles with food and especially about self-esteem. And I love her thoughts about what needs to change.... which is that a person must learn to love themselves. And also to figure out what you are really hungry for.

Which brings me to my last thought this evening - Oprah ended the show by laying out 4 questions that we all must ask ourselves (well, really it was Bob Greene who was asking the questions...) but anyway, I've decided that I'm going to answer them in the next few days on my blog here.

But I'm tired and its time for bed, so I'm gonna leave this post as it is!! :o)
