OK. Here's what I've done. I have abstained from wheat for awhile now. I messed around with the health food wheat free desserts and felt like crap. I am not talking about emotionally, I mean physically. Immediately. Well, the next morning I had to hold onto the dresser and bedpost to hoist myself into a somewhat standing position. And then I get the idea that what I need is more sugar. Yes. But I did not act on that idea.
So far.
In other news, I went swimming yesterday with my daughter at the YMCA. And then I went again today. I didn't think I was doing much but whoa! After I got out of the pool, I could really feel that my muscles were fatigued. I was just jumping around in my own personal water aerobics self led class, and then did some ballet barre work, then a couple of laps... you know... nothing much. Except that I was in there for about an hour and I am sore now.
So swimming: check.
Making wonderful meals from fresh organic food: check -- not every meal but a lot.
Writing down the stories in my head: check
I think that next I'll try going for a long walk in nature.
And what did it take to get me here?
Realizing that I don't have to be able to eat sugar like a normal person, and that there are others out there like me who can't do it either. And talking to them.
Knowing that I'm not alone.
That's what it took.
And now I'm crossing things off my list that were just idle musings before.
Soon you'll be reading about me in a national newspaper:
"Fat Housewife Saves Orphans from a Burning Fire!"
"Fat Housewife Foils Dastardly Plot by Evil Nemesis!"
