Is FOMO part of my weight issue?

FOMO, Fear of Missing Out, maybe abandonment...clutter, lots of teams, wanting a taste or just more, jealousy, envy...


versus being satisfied, satiated...

...food for thought for me. emoticon emoticon emoticon

    I think that any time you make changes, there is a grieving process you need to go through.

    One thing I find useful is to focus on the delicious things I CAN eat and not think too much about those other things. And then I make sure that as often as possible I'm not compromising and eating food that I don't really enjoy because "it's good for me". It has to be delicious first!

    Hmmmmm . . . we all have to set our boundaries and priorities. That's a good thing to do for ourselves. And realize that maybe it's not what OTHERS are doing, but THAT'S ALL RIGHT! They are not in YOUR body, your situation!

    I definitely can relate to that. 34 years ago, I stopped drinking. And part of the difficulty was my sense that I would not have friends and would miss social events.
    That turned out to be so very wrong.
    First, most people don't really notice or care what others eat or drink. So it's really not that difficult to get around it.
    Second, if you really think about it, if someone bases his or her opinion of you or friendship with you based on what you do or do not eat or drink, that might not be a friendship worth saving.
    Admittedly, there are business circumstances that can be more complicated. But I think it's easy enough to plead "allergy" or "doctor's orders" and most people will drop it.

    Great subject for thought.

    I hope you find your way around that. Stay strong, never give up.

    Interesting - I wonder if there's a way around that. Still participating, but in your own way, perhaps?

Day 1, again: Blogging 100 days Challenge; New Moon (Gemini)

Image
  So my last blogging challenge was interrupted by Covid, as I was an early Covid prepper (& irritated with those here who were in active and vocal denial, though I've gotten over that anger, which was my own maladaptive and non-compassionate response). I've been back, off and on, and off, but have mostly been engaged with and following my Spark plan, though I haven't always logged my food and my movement, lately. So I'm restarting this blogging challenge, with the New Moon, (Friday@1:39 EDT in loquacious Gemini. It almost happened by accident...I was reading an a sparkticle, and left a comment: FIVE FUN FITNESS GOALS FOR THE NEW YEAR ('09) https://www.sparkpeople.com/ blog/blog.asp?post=5_fun_f itness_goals_for_the_new_year & here are my summer fitness goals: Re-up'ing my fitness GOALS here, even tho it's not Jan1): 1) Continue with training to do 'real' push-ups: 13 will be first goal, then age (58, which is how many I can do @ wall right n...

Almond Macaro(o)ns

 Not exactly macaroons (which I think of as coconut) nor the recently trendy macarons (which are almond based, but more fussy?) these are more like the latter. Had an expired box of Solo almond paste, so needed to use it up...this recipe is from the back of the box, with 1 change: maraschino cherries are now cherries from canned cherry pie filling. Ingredients: 8 oz Solo Almond Paste 1 egg white 0.5 C sugar 5 oz Cherry Pie Filling (18 cherries) Direc tio ns: Preheat oven to 325F In food processor, break up almond paste, then process, add sugar & process, then add egg white and process for 2 min  (that basically seemed unnec...probly 20 sec was enough...but I followed the directions); Divide into 18 and roll balls (/pipe into stars) onto silicone-lined (silpat) sheet. Flatten & press thumb into it; place a cherry into each thumbprint, trying not to get much of the filling. Bake for 20 min on rack in middle of oven, then another 8 min on higher rack to brown Turned out k...
