Ate too much at dinner by about a factor of three-pure lack of restraint. Roast chicken w potatoes and carrots. Otherwise ate well today-skipped breakfast, soup for lunch. Tracy is leaving for Co Monday or Tuesday to take care of her Mom till she dies-besides missing her it will be a financial nightmare and a stressful time. Easier for me than her however, so I'm working hard to be helpful and positive instead of resentful and morose.:)

Long hot summer brings out the potato chip cravings in me-as opposed to long cold winter nights, when I crave chocolate and peanuts, or fall, when I crave deep dish pizza. Really it's just the calendars fault I don't eat healthily....sigh...

Have been eating well except for chips-helps that Annie is also gluten free eating, but have been taking off for birthdays, fathers days, etc. Lots of days in the summer for us. Having salad tonight; had dinner at the drive-in last night while we saw toy story 3. Nice evening-postponed from fathers day due to thunderstorm Sunday. Lots of stress with Dylan but depression lifting.

Had a very bad depression day yesterday but didn't eat much because Tracy didn't feel safe leaving me alone-and she's a wise, wise woman at least about me. Much better today. Frito pie for breakfast, potato salad for lunch and roast chicken and salad for dinner. Making two steps up and one back kind of progress.

Had yogurt breakfast, turkey sausage for lunch, and planning omelets with fried potatoes for dinner. Had couple handfuls potato chips just now-very freaking hot as it has been for a week. Too many windows in our house for 105 degree days.

Snap back to reality-whoops there goes gravity...


Yesterday was K birthday-had some cake but have otherwise been good. Just had two apples where one would have sufficed...Been over 100 everyday and I'm having trouble drinking enough. Had a hard time accepting no job for the fall, but getting Master's degree will be good.
