Frell, frack, dren, hezmana.

Okay, can we just start the year over?

In addition to wanting to throw my scale out the window (I'm about ready to make an executive decision on that and just BUY an actual good one with household money), I just went to pay the bills.

Understand that we were on the road last month when I paid the online bills. And I swear I paid them, at my folks' place. And the credit card bill, which is the one that incurs scary scary penalties if not paid...got paid.

However, neither the phone bill nor the power bill did. Usually the phone company sends me a little email saying "Thanks for your payment." I don't have one from last month in my inbox. It's entirely possible that I deleted it, because I'm stupid that way. But I swear I remember getting that email.

Actually, right now, I'm just doing a lot of swearing. Frell, frack, dren.

I'm debating doing the thousand calories on the bike again. And not eating a damn thing today. Words cannot express the absolute loathing I feel for that notion.

At least there's football on in a little while.

I have had that same brain breakage regarding bill paying..fortunately I can dig into my banking online records and find out for sure.

do not starve yourself. Leads to binge eating later. Eat lightly and sensibly, and quit being so hard on yourself. Moderation is a good thing.

That happened to me the other month with the gas/electric bill.

Not eating actually lowers your metabolism. Your body goes into storage mode. It panics and thinks it may be awhile before it is fed again--starvation mode--and it starts storing as much fat as possible and becoming uber efficient at making every calorie count.

Eat! Eat reasonable foods, healthy foods. Eat at least six times a day. That keeps you from getting crazy hungry and it tells your body that it will be fed on a regular basis, so it will get lax and stop storing fat. It will also become less efficient, because it won't think it needs to make every calorie count.

My son eats constantly, and he looks far better than he did back in the days where he only allowed himself one good meal a day. He eats protein, whole grains, fruits, and vegetables, and he eats an amazing amount, but he does weight lifting, too.

When I was attending Weight Watchers and someone was having difficulty losing weight, the first question asked was whether the person was drinking the 6-8 glasses of water recommended. The second question was whether the person was eating enough calories, and sometimes after checking out the food record, the person was told to consume more calories.

I've seen pictures of you. You are not that far from your ideal weight, surely.

Re: paying bills on-line. The same thing happened to me with the cable bill last month, and I was left trying to explain to my husband (on a Sunday evening when he was trying to login to work) why there wouldn't be any internet connection until I could get down to the billing office on Monday.
