Things I am learning

Wow last month was a whirlwind of activity, I am still processing it all to see what I can learn from it. Here are a few of my thoughts;

Seeing my wife achieve a dream is one of the sweetest moments life can offer.

Having my daughter want to follow in my footsteps is a beautiful and humbling feeling.

Making a safe enviroment for communication is important for a good conversation.

Sometimes what seems like the worst moment in your life can be the beginning of achieving the best moments in your life.

When explaining A.D.D I like to use the illustration of the difference between an appliance that uses a 110 electrical outlet and an apliance that uses a 220 outlet.
They both use the same electricity they are just wired differently.

Well 2 weeks and 2 days have gone by. I am feeling better, I have tons more energy and alot less weight. I am really starting to get in the groove now. I am astounded how I have been able to, for the first time, have some willpower and not be tempted by food. I made a lasagna Saturday night for my cousin who just had a baby. Now I'm telling you it was the best lasagna ever. I took 4 cheese ravioli, and used that for the noodles and cheese, and alternated layers of Cascone's Marinara sauce, ravioli, ground beef and Italian sausage, Cascone's Alfredo sauce, Parmesan cheese and a little of my home made spaghetti sauce. I actually made two, one for them and one for Arielle. There is only one piece left and I haven't even been tempted. I can't believe it. I also have gone out to eat several times. I found it quite easy to order without blowing the system. My clothes are beginning to get a little baggy. I guess the best thing is that I now eat because I need to eat. I am not even tempted to go through the drive through and spend 18.00 bucks at Sonic just for me. I don't eat because I am bored or only when I am ravenous anymore. Oh and by the way, my wife doesn't know I am losing weight, she is out of the country for 5 weeks so this will all be a surprise to her.
She returns on the 11Th.
We will chat later.
