Surprise
I was in a major funk this week. Normally this would be accompanied by lots of eating. Not only did I not overeat this week, I lost 4.5 pounds! I almost fell off the scale this morning, I was so surprised. I had to weigh myself again just to make sure I read the numbers right the first time.
Lunch with my mom and brother today. We could get 4-8 inches of snow overnight and I'm supposed to go up to my dad's in the morning. I'm hoping my brother offers to take him shopping instead of making me drive up there. I'm not holding my breath though because he seems really sick of our dad right now.
I'm reading Passing for Thin right now. I just started it but already there are things that I can completely identify with. Many of the reviews I read of this book focused on how much the reader didn't like the writer. They found her very selfish and narcissistic. I'm reserving judgement until I've read more of it.

Awesome! Whatever you're doing is working! I might see if my library has that book this weekend...I'm very curious about the reviews you mentioned! How sad it would be if just doing what she had to do to focus on herself to lose the weight and change her life could make other people condemn her for being selfish....

Thanks for sharing your journey.
The reason I stumbled upon your blog is because I was just searching for people who have written about Kuffel's Passing for Thin.
I have recently read the book too and it really inspired me. It motivated me to use a blog as my place to deal with issues surrounding my emotional eating. A lot of it is my daily food diaries, but it is: www.nycphotodiary.blogspot.com.
Congratulations on your process.
