Drink more water.

Eat healthier food.

Eat more reasonable portions.

Move more.

Lately, I'm also finding that I have to re-learn a few things....like how to recognize thirst, and fatigue.

As a very young child, and continuing throughout most of my life, I have been trained (and sometimes pressured) to ignore my own feelings and needs in order to keep working, doing, and being for others.

I'm learning that much of the time, when I feel "hungry" and would normally eat....I am actually tired, and need a nap.

Who'd a thunk it?

Two words:
Behaviour modification....

I went to lunch today with a friend who's
mom has recently passed way....
This lil itty bitty thang had the "ultimate bacon
and cheese omelette", hash browns and sour dough toast.
I could have jumped right up and stolen all her
food without a fight - but instead I had the chicken
caesar salad anf brought my own no cal, etc dressing.....

Also early this morning I spoke with the manager of the fitness
center and kinda unloaded on him about Mr. Pimply assed 30 yr old
trainer. I even threatened to pull my membership.
I freakin actually stood up for myself (not for someone else but for me this time)
and made my disappointment known.
We'll see what can be changed when I go back on Friday morning.....
