Greetings From A Squiggly Mind
Just some very random ruminations from the depths of my squiggly mind……..
Wow. It's been almost two months since I've written anything. I guess I haven't had much of interest to write about. So today I go back to the topic I always obsess over: weight loss. Or lack thereof. As you all know, I'm a fat, middle-aged diabetic. No, fat isn't a bad word so let's... Continue Reading →
A runaway train. That's my life. Right now. Since I last posted I have watched my life slip off it's tracks and go careening at full-speed into a wall of self-sabotage. I know I should be eating healthy. And I was. Until about two weeks ago. Okay, maybe longer. I am back on the carbs... Continue Reading →
This last week was, I thought, pretty good as far as meeting my goals. I ate well, went to the pool for some exercise, made it to my weekly meeting with the ladies. So you can imagine my surprise when I completely missed the mark on my last goal. My goals for last week: No... Continue Reading →
Well, it's really good for everything. I am going through what I hope to be a shift (instead of a phase) in my life. I'm making a point to change my thinking surrounding food and my health. I had a friend say a couple of different things this past week that really stuck in my... Continue Reading →
Gray hair. Wrinkles. Creaky ankles and knees. A sore back. Hell, I think I'm even shrinking. Getting older sucks. Now, I'm not old. I am what they would call "middle age". But damn do I feel... old. And I'm tired of it. As those who know me probably remember I was diagnosed with type 2 diabetes a while back. ... Continue Reading →
...I need a doughnut to call my own.... Well not really. Well, I mean I do, but... I am trying a new positive self-talk thing (not positive self-talk like "you're really good at eating doughnuts). More like: "I'm gonna rock this weight loss thing"! Hmmm. Yeah. I say it. And I mean it. I say it... Continue Reading →
I recently started writing again. Well, I recently started sharing my writing again. There is this strange thing that happens to me when I share my writing with other people and I’m not sure if it says more about me and my lack of ability to communicate with IRL or… well, that’s probably it. Anyway,... Continue Reading →
Yup. Again. I guess it's not technically new. But it's new for 2018. Does that count? First of all, I quit smoking. It's been eight days since I've had a cigarette. Most people would probably say "I'm quitting" this early on, but I refuse to. I quit. End of story. I'm not picking them back up. ... Continue Reading →
What does it take to make a person give a shit about themselves? I haven't quite figured this one out yet. It would seem that some people need a small prod. Some people need a swift, firm kick in the ass. And still yet, some others never quite seem to give a shit at all.... Continue Reading →
I have noticed throughout my years of being a fat chick that people have a tendency to be very uncomfortable with the actual word “fat”. I'm not sure what it is about me (any of us “plus-sized” folk) using this word as a descriptor for ourselves that causes such visible discomfort, but you can practically... Continue Reading →
