I spent some money on the cause yesterday. I got myself a Weight Watchers cookbook. It has a lot of basic recipes for basic food, which is what I need. And since it's WW, they have the "healthy" ways to cook things. So now I have to figure out what all I'm going to cook, and I'll have a good ole time!

My gums are bleeding again, which is a recurring problem. Since all I've been eating the past week is cereal and cookies, I told myself I have scurvy and made myself get some fruit. And a new mechanical toothbrush (one of the cheapies, not a good one. that'll be a good Christmas present someday). I haven't eaten it yet. I also got some low acid orange juice a while ago, I think I'll drink some tonight.

My friends the Jacksons told me about TOPS (Taking Off Pounds Sensibly) tonight. It's a weight loss support group that they go to each week. It sounds really cool, I added their website here on my site. Unfortunately, I can't go to the meetings of the St. Joseph chapter. Monday mornings aren't good. But that's OK. Maybe I'll start my own chapter. That would be motivating.

I'm telling everyone I know about this whole "fat camp" idea. The problem with this whole thing is that I'm not sure when I'm going to be able to actually do this. I may have to take random vacation days and do an extended fat camp instead of an intensive one. That might work better anyway. The big thing will be to start exercising. If I can do that, I'll be good.

Thanks go out to Terri, Susan, Cindy, and my mom for all the tips for healthier ways of being! I really am blessed for all the people in my life who support me!
