March 03 um.. what??What was my last blog on?? Certainly not what I am reading.. oh dear heavens! I flunked that goal with flying colors! It seems when I write this stuff online that the behavior gets worse and then I avoid the site all together. Hmm..kinda tricky. Well I will figure out some way. LOL..
Anyone else experience something similar? I'd love to hear what you do to help thwart the self-destruction (and creative self destruction at that)!!
obviously there is some deeper rooted issues ... otherwise my idea should have worked. alas!
Anyone keeping up with LOST on ABC??
I hope everyone is doing well. ;O) November 25 Day 1- no impulsive eating/spendingHi there!
Welcome to day 1 of my 30 day blog on getting "un addicted" to fast food. This is one major road block for me in my quest for acheiving a healthy balanced lifestyle!
Okay well I am kind of having a hard time thinking of what to write to make it interesting. Basically today went easier then I expected. I experienced several minor urges to go get fast food and then there were several times today that I felt very sad and down that I couldnt get the comfort food. However, the sadness it wasnt that bad and didnt last all that long.
This surprised me because usually I have more intense cravings... However it may help that I am still really excited about what this month is going to hold. And the potential that this blog will have for myself and so many people!
 Blessings to you all.My weight this morning was 148.5 ... I suppose I should take my blood pressure and blood sugar and record it daily as well.., but the blood sugar thing can vary so much and I dont have a blood pressure monitor. However, I had to go to see my doctor this morning and she said that my blood pressure was fine... That was a nice relief.
I added some loop holes to this expidtion so it wouldnt feel so extreme. I get access to the grocery store. If worse comes to worse i will buy something to eat at the grocery store that falls under the greasy/sugary or fattening comfort food category. Also, If someone else has fast food and buys me some I am allowing that too.. (For example, the family I babysit for a lot.. we often order pizza with dinner. There is NO WAY I am going to smell that yummy pizza and not eat it.. so if its already there... its free game! This may sound like a cop out .. .but really its encouraging moderation. We will see how it goes...
If I start hitting the streets with a sign saying "will work for Fast Food" Then I know I am in big trouble and will have to rework that little loop hole. LOL
 . So... long story short... I survived today. It should be interesting to see how it pans out. I have already grabbed a candy bar at the gas station but tried to even it out with a healthier carb... as well.
OH... For anyone who craves french fries... I have found an amazing alternative... thanks to my mom. She baked some small potatoes and then cut them up and fried them. DELICIOUS! and I am sure a whole lot healthier. I think she fried them in olive oil.. I need to ask her. I will let you all know as soon as I know.
I am hoping everyone is doing well and is looking forward to a wonderful Thanksgiving. Blessings to all!
Next Update: Tomorrow :O) 11/26/08
November 24 taming my impusive behaviors... 30 day blog (INTRO)Hello Readers:
I dont know why... well I have a few guesses as to why.. that my impulsive eating and impulsive spending have shot up like a launched rocket lately. It is stressing me out that this is getting worse and yet I turn to it when I get overwhelmed or start feeling defeated. So, its time I tried to break this vicious cycle. Especially since it has gotten out of hand lately. At the McDondalds Drive through today.. I heard myself say...." no more after today.. you can go crazy today but tommorow no more fast food for a month! and no more buying things you dont need either!" I cant tell you all how many times I say that.. and the next day find myself in the same situation with hopes that tomorrow will be different. It usually is unsuccessful.
I thought of that guy who ate all his meals at McDonalds for a month and made a video documentary. I thought... Hey it would be neat to document the ups and downs of coming off this addiction or impulsive something or other. It may help me stick to my plan to get control of these impulsive behaviors. So here is my shot at this.. I am hoping I can find some information that will help me later on as I write down this blog as I experience it. I hope other people can find help or support in it as well. If it helps me change my behaviors then I will be pleased as punch! I hope is that this blog becomes well read and that many people will find peace/ comfort/ support/ understanding about an unhealthy coping mechanicsm that so many people struggle with!
Please Spread this around to your friends and family or anyone who may be interested. Also I welcome your comments, suggestions and stories as well. :o)
Thanks!
Starting tomorrow I will refrain from buying any fastfood for a month. I will also refrain from impulsive purchasing. Especially Webkinz! (yes.. Webkinz).. I will explain that in more detail later. :O) There was a "method to my madness" so to speak... it just backfired! January 28 Talking about Disabled Dog Needs A HomeI want this dog so bad! My heart goes out to the sweet endearing pup. Oh Wiggles, I would give you all the love in the world! You are adorable! And you will be just fine! I am sending prayers that you find a loving home. I would adopt you if I had the money and the space.. but I dont right now. You are so cute!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Quote Disabled Dog Needs A Home If I was pregnant... before you consider an abortionI made a baby ticker so everyone can see how even in the youngest days the fetus is still very much alive.
Please consider adoption before abortion. My birth mother did. And she is my hero.
If you have already aborted your child and need help dealing with the emotions, please get help and support. You deserve it! :o) Plus your baby's spirit would want the best for you :o).
God Bless! Let me know if I can offer up prayers for you or anyone struggling with this or any difficult decision.
Here is my baby ticker:

November 08 Talking about Twins, 8, invent 'wedgie-proof' underpants - Innovation - MSNBC.comThis is great! I just read this article after I discovered some sort of sad news involving a person I love dearly. But, then reading this piece of news put me back in the right frame of mind. As quoted in the new Walt Disney DVD, Meet the Robinson's, "Keep Moving Forward"! I definately recommend this article! I hold those two twins in high respect....! You will too after reading this... Quote Twins, 8, invent 'wedgie-proof' underpants - Innovation - MSNBC.com November 07 i dont knowOh Never mind... I still have the blogs.. but now I cant get them to close... oh well.. I wish I could figure out how to make it the way I had it before..
Technology... love it and hate it! lost previous blogsAll of my blogs were just erased. Do you know how pissed I am???? October 25 Talking about Jesus Christ Lizard
Quote: Okay... on a lighter note, watch this! Its cute! Jesus Christ Lizard Talking about 'This Time' by Celine Dion
Quote: Very empowering! Really hits the heart. Celine, YES!!! You did change not only the lives of people who are living the "nightmare" but to those who have "lived that nightmare before" where they experienced abuse in any form ever, they/we still need that light to remember "IT WON'T HAPPEN AGAIN"! Not if it can be helped. I may not have had the power to stop it while it was going on... but your damn sure. I wont let it happen again, now that I am older and DO have the power. And I will NOT let it ruin my life either!!! I really respect you for taking this on. Its so painful yet so empowering at the same time! I am putting this on my blog in hopes even more people will find this. Blessings and thanks to you! 'This Time' by Celine Dion October 08 Birthdays are new beginnings!Normally I am not one to announce my birthday to the world... but.. cyberworld... hey, why not?
I am very excited its my birthday.. I feel like a little kid! I will be 28 oh somewhere around 1pm! Its been a wonderful birthday so far. My friend, Susanna, surprised me last night, I had no idea she was in town! It was so lovely seeing her again.
The kids I babysit for made it a very special celebration as well. They planned a surprise party and each picked me out something and made a cake and drew me really sweet pictures. I felt so loved! It was so sweet!
I just love Birthdays because they really can be a marker for progress and change and growth.. spiritually, emotionally, mentally, physically.
I'll write more later... I am supposed to be working and I know I am just about to get caught... ;o)
I wish everyone a great day! September 03 Happy Labor DayHappy Labor Day!
I am sooo bored right now... I am at work, while everyone is out tanning by the pool... whine whine b****ch moan....
 ha ha.  There! Ha! I am soooo creating my own vacation with smilies... creative, resourceful and if only it were convincing... well it is kind of fun to stare at.. darn I am so bored! WELL better jet before the b  oss man catches me... (*RUN*)   September 01 sleep deprivation ;p)Wow! I really need to get on some kind of schedule. I can not sleep!!!!
I went on a work vacation for a week and my body decided it liked that time period better. We visited Colorado so its two hours earlier then on the east coast. My body is operating still, over three weeks later on a two hour delay. Strange!
Why must the most random things seem so much more interesting at night?
Hmm. Good Night! i hope  August 19 Today updateI am so sick today! I woke up feeling kind of bad and it has preceded to get worse through out the day. I am not sure why? or what exactly I have? But its no fun.
Since I have no voice I could not make much progress with the job hunt today. I think all the energy I used yesterday is what caused me to get sick today. Thats why balance is so important!
It has been a wild week. It shows no signs of stopping, even in my dreams, literally! So basically I have to buckle up and brace for one heck of a ride! One that I am sooo not getting back in line to ride again after its finished!
Oh, PS. Happy Birthday Sara Younts and Jonathan Frakes and Dewey O'Kelly
Quote of the day: "Never apologize for being yourself" -Donna (happy feet)
Thank you God for todays blessings: Target Sales, Organization, Sunday's, Rest and Relaxation, Odd and unexplainable events that are just too strange they must be meant to be. August 17 letting looseHello! This is my first blog on this space! LOL. WEll today I just hTad a great day! It was so wonderful! It was truly filled with many blessings! I wish i could go in to detail more, but I cant since it involves work. It was a heartwarming day though! One of those days you have to make a mental memory of it so you can go back and access it when you have bad days.
So I was blessed with this fabulous day at work and I got a session of Cranial Sacral Therapy. It is a type of bodywork. Its in the same field as Reiki, but its a bit more sensory oriented as well. I crave it now. I can not tolerate any other type of work for some reason, but Cranial Sacral therapy, wow! That is just so wonderful! I know its vague. Sorry! I cant go into too much detail now, but rest assured it will be the topic of many a blog, because it is so centering to me... like Yoga is to some people. I find lots of insights and tap into my inner spirituality and gain more valuable strengths. These are all helpful things to get through the day.
I also was thrilled to create this site. I am very excited... and will be for the next few days... until something else catches my attention and I will follow it wide eyed and mystical!
Quote of the day: " Keep in touch with your inner child as you age through adulthood. It will be your saving grace in your golden days". It will help you age with beauty and grace!
Dear God, Thank you for... of the day:
Thank you for wonderful people, angels, health and safety,heart warming welcomes, and clarification in clearing up misunderstandings/ false information!
You are so Amazing! Thanks for all your "lessons and blessin's"!
