Thank you for bringing this up se....you made me think about that. I am

going through a time of discontent with my weight and body. I should really

be fine with it because this is the smallest and healthiest I have been in

years.....but I am thinking.....if I just could do without those mid afternoon

crackers....I might be able to drop another couple of pounds. I still have this

little bulge around my lower stomach....etc...etc...etc..

When I think about it.....I am nervous about finances this summer....I am

a teacher and choir director....my work stops in June.

......I am worried about my daughter who

has gained about 30 pounds....is not going to school or working...and is married

to a control freak....and living in my house

I think I could continue this list....but these are the biggies.......now

that I have identified the problem...............NOW WHAT?

Thanks for letting me think out loud.
