All Diets are Meant to Be Broken

All diets are meant to be broken and I have broken every diet I have ever been on. I became a vegetarian but today I ate herb and lemon chicken, mashed potatoes and gray and green salad and it was wonderful. I'll go back on the vegetarian diet tomorrow. From a cholesterol standpoint, the chicken was roasted on a rotisserie so it wasn't fried. But I ate the skin. Is that as bad as the half of a chocolate bar I ate. Who cares?

Free At Last

I got my ultrasound results back from the doctor and I no longer have a blood clot in my leg. I no longer have to wear compression stockings or take Warfarin. It will be much easier to go swimming if I don't have to contend with compression stockings.

Most of the time I accept my weight, except when I try to do prostrations or when my knees hurt after sitting a long time. I don't know if my knees are hurting because of arthritis or because of supporting my weight. It is easy to blame it on the weight.

There was only one woman who was bigger than me at Seminary. Most Buddhists are thin. I had to order a khaki shirt for Kasung duty because they didn't have a shirt in my size that I could borrow. My feet swelled up when I did Chi Gong, forcing me to leave the session early because my feet hurt.

Anyway, I will keep exercising, eating carefully and watching what happens.
