A couple of years ago I was gifted one of those cute Zen Gardens and have decided to use it as a Day Calandar. Each day I give thanks for having the opportunity to learn from this weight loss journey and reflect upon what went very well and what could have gone better. I then move one of the objects from one side of the sand to the other.
Day 3. I have been enjoying my quest to listen to my hunger signals and feed it enough to stay comfy. I knew this but needed to remind myself just how fortunante I am that I have the ability to make this choice. I was thinking about the human condition and that their are a lot of people whose problem is quite the opposite of mine. I felt somewhat ashamed for having so much blessing and abusing food the way I am inclined to do. We all have our own place in this world and lessons to learn. Our weight problem is so minute but yet it is a huge problem in our society. Very interesting when you really get to think about it. May everyone find peace in their little Zen Garden of life and find joy in the process of living! TOWANDA!!!!

Lisa, I am more than honored you want to be buddies. Thank you so much for your kind words in my journal. I have found so many friends on FS and it has helped me pay attention to what is going on in my body. I lose slowly as I refuse to starve myself to lose, but keep it low enough to achieve my goal. It has taken a long while, but I'm not in a race. I want to be as healthy as possible FIRST for health and then to enjoy the way I look. Since you read my bio, you know the big WHY to this weight loss. Cancer and fat do not get along well. I got this far and I'll be darned if I am going to destroy the years I have left by stuffing myself for immediate gratification. I have found a way to eat well, not starve and gain control over myself. I have tests all the time. Some I win, some I lose, but I find it so much easier to get "back on the horse" by being a FS member. We have some awesome friends. I live in West Palm Beach, Florida. Do you mind telling me where you are? You don't have to, I just love to know where all my buddies live and it seems they are all over the US, Canada and UK. So cool. Again thanks for stopping by my journal, and come by anytime. By the way, what does Towanda mean? :-)

TNN, I love your Towanda attitude which I believe is Loving and taking care of ones self by stepping outside of guilt, coming from your power, not your weakness, accepting yourself as you are right now, and not taking oneself so seriously. Did you ever see "Fried Green Tomatoes"? Something about the Kathy Bates character strikes a chord with me and I feel the word gives me some kind of Power. YouTube has a few videos that come up when you type the word Towanda. Pick one of the longer running Towanda clips and play it as it will give you a better understanding :) I live in Sacramento California and have lived here for 40 of my 47 years. I have two lovely daughters 10 and 20 who is (a successful F.S. member) and a wonderful husband whom I met when we were 16. I think writing these comments to buddies is so helpful because when I write to my buddies I am not only talking with them and others who may read but I am writing to myself which helps sort things out in some awesome way. I feel awful about the oil spill in the Gulf of Mexico and do hope you are not effected too badly by that very sad situation. Have a great Summer. TOWANDA!!!
