The Ultimate Victory

Almost six months ago now, one of my greatest fears came true.  My beloved mother, who had been battling stage four ovarian cancer for a remarkable 5 1/2 years, passed away. She was the hub of the wheel we call family, and not a day goes by that we don’t feel the pain of her …Continue reading →

The Battle To Be More Disciplined

I have known for many years that lack of discipline is one of my biggest character defects.  You would think that after being abstinent for over 6 years and maintaining a 100+ pound weight loss that I would have conquered that problem by now.

Donut Envy

When I was active in my disease, I would look at the long line of cars in front of me at the coffee shop drive-thrus and wonder how so many people could order a coffee, nothing more, and drive away.  It made absolutely no sense to me whatsoever.  I mean, while you’re there, you might …Continue reading →

Dustin Hoffman Says It All

I’ve always liked Dustin Hoffman.  Yes, he’s a great actor, but I’m talking about liking him in a way where, if you imagine meeting him in person, you picture him being a really nice, down-to-earth kind of guy.  But even if I didn’t like him before, I would after this.  Check out this definite must-see video if …Continue reading →

A “Literary Analysis” Of My Own Negative Self-Talk

Deep in the trenches of my daily food fight, there are times when I cannot seem to shake the self-pity that used to be my constant companion.  When I was bingeing, it was always there.  To the point that I had actually gotten used to it.  To the point that I couldn’t even see it.  And …Continue reading →

I’m Ba-ack!

Hello, All: Hoping that this is the beginning of a new batch of posts.  Since I started this project, back in March of 2012, I am happy, thankful, and grateful to report that I am still abstinent, I’m back on my exercise routine, and I have lost another 15 pounds!  That’s a grand total of …Continue reading →
