Once again, I stuck to the diet like glue. I'm very proud of myself for that. It is a serious accomplishment given the amount of parties and the like that are going on around me lately. I don't move even one milimeter...I just gracefully decline and am biding my time until Valentine's Day. That's the cheat Day. Actually it changed to the 13th because I am cooking dinner for my beautiful baby boy and his wife as a Valentine's Day gift.
I spoke to my searcher BFF today. She said that my blog inspired a very profound thought in her...after she told me what it was, she inspired it in me. I guess one good turn deserves another right? She said that she feels the need to pull away from the negative; like negativity in people around her. I listened as she spoke and fully grasped the concept of what she was saying. In a manner of speaking "misery loves company." They try to drag you into the myer. Once your in, it's real easy to get stuck. At least that was my interpretation of the over all concept of the conversation.
With me, the negativity latches on. I'm not one for confrontation so it usually eats me alive from the inside. With me, bad eating habits are my vice. I turn to food for comfort even though I know better. It then creates a vicious circle which pulls me into the eye of the tornado...and fifty pounds later I'm as miserable as they are... do you see what I mean? I'm also trying not to go that way.
Today began 15 minutes before work started with a nasty client coming in and making everyone around him feel as miserable as he was feeling. Normally that kind of an encounter sets the presedence for my entire day. I didn't allow it to though. It turns out the day wasn't too bad. There were moments- make no mistake that there's clearly a full moon on the horizon, but it was okay.
Tonight I went to the first class of the semester at college. It was Statistics. Math. NOT my forte. The teacher's accent is beyond thick...I understood every third word or so. The guy next to me was just lovely though. He shared his email from the teacher, which I did not get and his book which I have to purchase tomorrow at the school book store. He coached me through the parts that I couldn't understand and it all worked out. After class I told him how nice that I thought he was. Apparently we had another class together and I coached him through. He wouldn't have passed it if it hadn't been for me he said. Nice right> Kindness really does pay off in the end doesn't it?
So all in all I'm going to have to say that positive, affirmative action is the way to go. I'm feeling very good tonight. It's late and I'm heading off for slumber land. See you next blog. ;-)
