A lesson in History

You Are 45% Normal (Somewhat Normal) While some of your behavior is quite normal... Other things you do are downright strange You've got a little of your freak going on But you mostly keep your weirdness to yourself How Normal Are You? Its wednesday, bleh! The day before pay day, scrapping around to find money and putting money left in the bank on the credit card.. how exciting.. (being sarcastic) Mum visited me today, she had noticed id dropped a bit of weight, but then ive been seeing her every week, sometimes twice.. so maybe she might catch on when ive lost a bit more and im closer to my goal weight.. im not exactly going to announce that i am yet on another diet.. Very hot and humid today, still got tias room all clean and organised (not just putting everything in her toy boxes but made sure all the blocks (2 diff freakin types) were in the right places.. the books all together in the right place.. and tomorrow i will keep an eye on her and make sure that she puts things back and doesnt just trash her room by pulling everything out of boxes, clothes out of drawers.. oh the mess! me rambling again.. :P today: 2 pieces of toast low fat spread (3pts) sunflower seeds (1pt) pumpkin seeds (1pt) sultannas (0.5pt) 2 pieces low fat spread and 1 bit of garlic minced, 1 small tomato, tiny bit of olive oil and basalamic vinegar (3.5pts) 1/4 steamed chicken breast, onion,tomato, deli ham, lite cheese, corn on cob, (6pts) 1 50g packet thins original (5.5pts? or 5pts?) coke zero 1lt water 20.5/22 1hr exercise on bike, while reading. im starting to enjoy making my fave things only lighter versions, i feel much happier doing it that way than missing out on it completely! (feeling depressed and then bingeing) boy, have i come a LOOONNNG way! :D (lets hope it stays that way) again from Joyce Meyers book "Eat and stay thin" from Reason 12 Lack of Self Denial Because i was abused, mistreated and controlled throughout my childhood, i grew up with a very bad attitude and outlook. i felt sorry for myself, got depressed on a regular basis, and was extremely judgemental and temperamental. if things didnt go just as i wanted them to, i would throw a fit. i blamed everthing that went wrong on my upbringing, claiming, "i am the way i am because of the way i was treated" Before i could get the victory over my situation, one of the things the Lord had to get across to me loud and clear was this truth: "Yes, that is the reason you are the way you are, but it is no excuse to stay that way!" That truth eventually set me free. So me! Being overweight since i was 10years old, lying to my friends i remember saying "i went to the doctor and he said i have big bones!" I put myself on my first diet at age 12 we lived near a baseball field so i would go run laps around that! Alot of my friends in highschool where very overweight! There was quite a few of us too! In a dramatic effort to gain attention and loose weight at 17years, i ate a plain salada a day for a month and sprinted around bush trails. At age 18 i dropped to my lowest with sticking to no more than a certain amound of carbs, kj, fat a day and i was at least happy with my boyf (now hubby) and finishing high school leaving all thoose mean people behind!
