Head Hunger

Oh head hunger how I hate thee.  Right now I feel as if you are my biggest nemesis.  You won today, but this is just a battle, not the war.  You crept up on me and you bit me in the brain, and like a fool I followed you.  Yes, I needed that Atkins Endulge Brownie.  I also needed those two Atkins Peanut Butter Cups.  Yeah and I needed a huge hole in my head. 

No, what I really need is to find a better way to deal with head hunger.

Changes ahead

Although I have been reluctant to have change in my past, experience has shown me that change call be a good thing.  I'm currently working on some additional features to the blog.  If they work out it will hopefully be helpful to several people.  If not then I'm learning stuff for the future.  That's the only way to look at it.

So here's what's being added.......

Thank Goodness that is over!

The holiday season isn't always the best season for me.  I neglected too much during the holidays so I could try to make sure we had a really good Christmas.  I'm somewhat anal that way.  I think it's because in the past I haven't been the greatest person, so I find myself overcompensating and working very hard to try to make things perfect.

Sometimes it works, sometimes I fail.  I think I did a ok job this year but I had somewhat of a writer's block.  Or I just didn't give a shit, your choice

I Have Gotten off Track and Depression Season Begins

I suspected that it would happen.  I'm at another stall and part of it is my fault.  It's the holidays fault.  It's a hodgepodge of faults.  This is a hard time of the year.   While there are some who think it's a wonderful time of year there are those of us who try really hard to be positive and upbeat.  I thought I was doing good but the only thing I was good at was fooling myself.

I am like Cher

If you have ever been to a Cher concert you know that every now and then she jokingly (or maybe not) talks about how good it is to be Cher. Sometimes I feel like I am emulating Cher in my life right now. It is so good and I am so happy that all I want to do is tell people how good it is and to help people smile.  Then something goes wrong.  I sometime think it's a face slap to say "Get a grip!"

 

Emotional Sabotage?

I'm not sure what it is.  Maybe it's because for us fatties the majority of our lives we have been picked on, made fun of and just generally treated like shit.  I get it and I understand for I spent the majority of my life in a small town being an outcast.   I sometimes take things wrong myself, get my feelings hurt or over react to things.  I do think, that at some point we can sabotage our emotions.

ANNOUNCEMENT - Your help is requested.

Some of you may know that I have had another blog that I started repeatedly and then stopped after one or two blog posts.  Last December I decided to make a recipe blog and just like before I made a few posts and then abandoned it.

I have decided to renew that blog and connect it to this blog.  If you look on the menu bar you will find a LRTF Recipe link.  This takes you to the recipe blog and over at the recipe blog there is a link to bring you back.

I don't intend for the recipe part to consist of only bariatric recipes.  Right now there are quite a bit there because that is my focus.  But here is where I need your help.  I need you to send me recipes that you like if you would.  You will receive credit for your recipe and if you include a picture you took of the dish,  I will place your name as a watermark on the picture.

Submit your recipes by dropping me an email.  Thanks for your help!!
