Well, I've started on the weight change portion. This past weekend, I was out playing golf with my husband and members of our church. I play golf (if you can call it that) one day per year, usually, at this event. It's best ball, thank goodness, and we usually get teamed with pretty good golfers, which keeps us from looking totally incompetent.
Before we went out, my husband bought us a beverage, and, probably because he needed one, a chocolate bar each.
I'm not actually all that fond of chocolate bars.
Know what? I ate it. I ate the whole thing. I still don't know why! I think I need to explore that more closely.
Other big changes need to be made. My office is a disaster area. Books, papers, and magazines are all piled on the desk along with a flashlight, a doll, markers, spools of thread, a sock, and tons of stuff I can't see. And that's just the desk.
This is definitely weight I need to lose too, although it won't reduce the number of pounds I have to lose. Maybe by dealing with these "weighty" issues, it will help the physical weight loss. Maybe the mind/body link is hindering my progress. Maybe it's time to change everything.
I'll let you know.
Right now, I'm going to make a start on the office (after I have a fortifying cup of coffee).

Lois, it sounds like you are on the right track. I appreciate your candor and your willingness to look closely at life around you. I do not have the self-discipline I often need to make the changes in my life, but God does amazing things. God answers my prayers to re-create me and help me to have strength day by day to make better decisions. It doesn't all fall into place at once... but piece by piece it is coming. I have started a new exercise program, and have started to make changes about what I eat. I'm trying to find a lifestyle (food wise) that I can live with over the long haul. So... no sugar in my tea or coffee... water with a little juice (I don't like water alone)... several small meals... watching the snacks ... and trying to be aware of just what I am eating! May God give you strength and encouragement today! Frances
