Much better!

Hey Amigos,

I feel infinitely better today. Writing yesterday's blog was cathartic; it feels so good to get all that stuff off my chest. I also got a very good night's sleep; yesterday I was tired and cranky, but today is a whole other story.

On the downside, I had me a binge yesterday. On the upside (if binges can have upsides) I have still managed to stay away from my pre-WW binging habits (deli, donuts, culvers, etc.). I just ate too much of the things I already had in the house.

Let's see, what else is new. On Thursday I'll be taking a class sponsored by the Wisconsin Government Accountability Board so I can be a voter registration deputy. :) A deputy!

I wanted to do my part to ensure that everyone who wants to vote and is eligible, can vote. I know that during the Kerry election representatives of a certain opposing party who shall remain nameless were present in certain wards and did all they could within (and sometimes outside of) the law to prevent people from voting or registering to vote.

I'm trying to become more involved in this election. I sincerely fear for our country if Obama is not elected, and I'm going to do all I can to make sure it happens. Sorry if there are any McCain fans reading this, but I will not be swayed. We need Obama and Biden as our country's leaders, end of story.

Keep me in mind Amigos, because while my binging yesterday wasn't terrible, I did feel some of the old habits bubbling up to the top. It's a fine line I walk friends, and I'm trying very hard to remain on the right side, but honestly, it's not a far stretch for me to fall into my old habits. That's the insidiousness of a weight problem. If I succumb to a trigger, I could be lost forever.

But, I feel strong right now, so I'm going with that.

Peace out everyone.
