They're finally out of the bag!

I'm talking about my walking sneakers. Took me two weeks to unpack, and I aint done yet. But I did get out these two important size blankyty-blank shoes.

Now all I have to do is git outta bed at 5:00am. Easier said than done, but once it's done, I'll be hooked.

As for Dr Phil, ah like how oonu nah aks mi whey a gwaan. Well, Dr Phil is on the shelf. I've reached instead now for Adele Puhn. Now this book I found in a sale at the Fire Station in Beeston one Saturday morning. Published in 1997, it has in it a thing that I liked. Adele (we're on first name basis) says there is no such thing as willpower! I like the sound of that. She stresses the physiological aspect of why we (read=I) overeat. If we don't keep in Good Blood Sugar or GBS as Adele calls it, then because our brain needs fuel, we crave sugary things and will eat everything in sight if our blood sugar is low.

I tried this in Beeston. It worked. Then I backslid in some cheap ice cream and I went back into Bad Blood Sugar. That, coupled with lack of exercise (who wants to exercise in their bedroom - I couldn't afford the gym), resulted in all of Adele's handy work going down the drain.

Anyway, I summarized the main points of the book for a friend, so if you want to read it, go right ahead.
