Week 6D

I really did not want to go yesterday. As a matter of fact, I called Susie on my way because I needed another shrink to shrink me. Even though my car was headed in the right direction, my mind wasn't. Susie told me to prepare for a 5 pound weight gain, then I wouldn't be disappointed. I did NOT want to hear that. I wanted to hear, "You're right. Drive right on past UAMS. It's not worth it." But NOOOOOO...that's not what she said. She went on about determination and compared me to training her cat to poop in the toilet! Now, I'm all about analogies, but come on! Comparing my quest for weight loss and fitness to flushing feline feces!!! Woman! So as we were talking, I found myself turning into that parking deck. It was like medicine. I might as well take it and get it over with. And, I am glad I did! I had lost another 1.5 pounds. That's 22 total in 6 weeks! I was very pleased.

Aaaahhh...a good dose of cognitive therapy a day keeps the insanity away. Thanks, Dr. Susie.
