December 22

It’s the universe’s fault because…I didn’t get the payoff I deserve.  I had a client once that lost 120 lbs. in the hopes of meeting a guy.  When her first two relationships at her new weight bombed, she decided that ordering in whole pizzas was reliably pleasurable.  True, but only briefly, and they won’t keep me warm at night.  The reward for eating for my target weight is being my target weight – not necessarily anything else.  As a recovering friend once wisely said about his sobriety, “being sober doesn’t mean you won’t step in dog poop.”  Quite profound, I thought!
