Slept very late...awoke tired, sore, discouraged and fearful. Tired because I went sledding yesterday and forgot how much work that takes. I lay in the snow and made six snow angels. That made me dizzy! I ate snow and realized after all these years, it still tastes the same. I threw my body on a sled and went down the hill. I sat in a mound of snow with my nieces and nephew and watched them dig out a cave. I went inside and drank cocoa. I handle food and family as others handle drink and family...just keep getting it down and hope for the best.
I am in a pattern of always "starting over". I have adopted Scarlett O'Hara's mantra ..."there's always tomorrow". As the South burns down around Scarlett, she puts a positive spin on things and begins her next set of manipulations and maneuvers. I do the same thing. "There's always tomorrow" means that I will once again find a rationale for eating more than I need. "Always tomorrow" means that one day, the scale will go down...just not today. "Always tomorrow" means that I will start on Monday...start on the first of the month...start on New Year's Day...start on my birthday...start when I am done with school...start after the Super Bowl...start on the first day of Lent. Meanwhile Atlanta burns...
