I is on a diet
posted at 01:07 am on 10-18-2008
Yep. I put on most of the weight I lost. I am almost back where I started. So now I am going on another diet, this one less extreme. I want to lose 4 pounds or 2kg, by christmas, as summer is coming and I want to buy a swimsuit, also 2 pairs of jeans.
Nothing much else is happening. I am going to a lot of effort to do relaxation exercises like the counsellor recommended. I want to be in a lot better shape for when I see her next sunday, less stressed out and with less jangled nerves anyway.
Weather is ok and my pansies and dianthus and marigolds are coming along nicely.

a review of yesterday
posted at 04:35 pm on 10-12-2008
Well yesterday was a nice sunny day. I was sitting outside with my parents and the dog and the sun was very warm on my neck and hair and the garden was full of sweet scents. Summer is coming... though there will probably be thunderstorms next month, there usually is before the summer starts.
I am usually very good with maps but I got pretty lost driving to see the new counsellor. The problem was because I thought the internet map was facing south and it was actually facing north so when I arrived the roads were in reverse order to what I had seen on the map. What also didnt help is that I have been away for a year so I had forgotton a lot of the geography of the area.
Anyway the room she took me to had a big window and it faced all these lovely plants and she asked me a lot of questions.
I was quite happy with how it went overall. She said I displayed quite a few aspergers traits. I liked her attitude to aspergers, she seemed more interested in it than anything else, and she seemed to have a belief that people with aspergers could go on to live the lives that they wanted to live, and that they needed understanding amongst other things.
I am not very good with eye contact and spent a lot of time looking at the plants, and the summery atmosphere outside. I am probably not the most comfortable person to be with and i would probably freak a lot of counsellors out, so I felt relieved when she indicated she would be happy to help me out with some of the things I need help with.
I am kind of worried though, that she might decide I am just too weird and should be referred on or something... anyway I have to try and see what happens with this.

another entry.

Well, it is later in the day. I thought the tea I made was ok but next time I am going to leave out the mint leaves because they were a bit overpowering. I also tried to make a spice tea with cinnamon, cardamon, coconut and cloves. Was ok but have to put in more cardamon next time.
Anyway dull tea hobby aside, I got an email from the lady at the AS centre today and she recommended a couple of counsellors. I phoned one of them and now have an appointment to see her on Sunday. So, hopefully this will help me, and I am also hoping she will work with my unemployment case manager too.

first blog entry.

Well I have decided to keep a blog, as it is better than keeping up an emo thread about my weight for months in the Health and Sports Forum. So I will happily go on and on here about what I am eating and my weight.
I am post diet now and still have about 3-4 pounds to lose. It seems now that i am over 30, my body has changed shape and I have lumps in places I never had lumps before. It's not easy. Anyway I dont want my focus to be on lumps, I want to think more in terms of health. So I will steam more vegetables for lunch today, and try and make some tea from scratch. Yesterday I made ginger and lemon tea and today I will make strawberry, lime and mint leaf tea.
Not sure what else is happening. Because of my life being the train wreck it is, I am awaiting a phone call from the aspergers centre, where a lady will give me the name of counsellors who work with AS people.
Never had proper counselling before, will be interesting to see how it will be.
