Before and After

Thursday..............................................................................Friday

What a difference a haircut makes! I am a new woman and this is a new day.

I have literally tossed my cookies, which were getting stale anyway. I am down to one stick of butter and no ice cream in the freezer. We do have one emergency loaf of bread in there I noticed, but that will be eaten by Dave.

The new regime starts now.

I am not dieting.

Instead I am just done with self-indulgence. There is a difference.

Somewhere, sometime in the year 2007 I became overwhelmed with living up to the expectations of others. It was subtle but grew until I had to stuff it down with good food. I saw it as it happened and had not the strength to overcome.

Now I do.

Simple. Plus I am no longer in that position of pleasing anyone but moi, and the darling husband of course. Speaking of Dave, he made a few rumdum purchases too in a waistband size unheard of in his experience.

So together, we are shaping up.

This is how we will do it.

1. Clear out the stuff that could become our downfall

2. Chart out a day's meals

3. Portion control

4. Five tiny meals instead of one huge one

5. Walking after meals

6. No eating after 5 pm

This meal plan thing prevents thinking about food. Just look at the menu and see what is coming up next and when.

And I will be creative in the studio vs. the kitchen.
