Could it be that I had only a salad for dinner around 9 and then nothing else? Yes, this could be my problem. I am craving bad things, fatty things, things that will make the rumbling emptiness of my belly calm itself.

I am in a great mood today. I see the world in a new light; I will reward myself for small victories instead of humbling myself and relying on others for approval and thanks. Does this make sense? I do a lot and then get frustrated when I am not recognized. But why should I be? If I know that I have succeeded, then that should be enough. We’ve decided that it all stems from my childhood – OF COURSE – but mainly from my father never saying much of anything when I would tell him something I accomplished. Yet when I failed or did something wrong, I got attention. Negative attention but still. My mother was supportive but for some reason, I held my father’s opinion higher. Perhaps because he DID ignore my achievements. I don’t know. I do know that I have hit the pivot point and can move forward, become a better person…
