Nov. 29th, 2004 07:35 amWell, I lost over a pound this last week. I wasn't trying; this is a side effect of not being able to eat easily. My brother pointed out that what might be happening is that having "taken in" something toxic, my body/mind may be just shutting down and saying no to many things from the outside world. I think he's onto something there.
I went shopping with him and Christy, his wife, on Saturday and we had a great time. It was so much fun! However, I couldn't get myself to buy anything except "The Four Agreements", a book recommended to me as useful for this time. I watched that total internal resistence to buying myself anything else---even a tiny pair of earrings---and asked why this was such a strong feeling. Here's the answer I gave myself: 1.) I don't know who I'm buying things for yet, since I'm changing so fast, and I'd like to wait until I know who I am again to do so. 2.) see my brother's explanation above. Oh, and 3.) I need to be much more consciuosly frugal now that I will be moving out and supporting myself on my salary alone.
So I'm at 132 lbs. and still dropping without any effort, and little exercise, at all. I did 20 minutes on the elliptical trainer today, and it was all I could do to drag myself on and off of it.
I think I might join seedmoon's cutting challenge in order to give me a consciously healthier focus for proceeding into the next few months. This approach is no good. Plus, if you're using weights, you've gotta eat. No way around it. That should help.
