So Hard to Stay Positive

I have to admit that on mornings when I step on the scale and there is no weight loss, I have a hard time keeping motivated. If this was just a restrictive diet, I would have cheated by now. But I keep reminding myself that it's a CURE not a diet. And cures sometimes take awhile.
My hubby and son took me to see the movie 'Forbidden Kingdom' today. The theater was empty, except for us, so I didn't have to listen to wrappers crinkling or smell the treats, so that was good. The movie was ok, but it was just nice to get out of the house, because we have had so much rain. We are going to go to the midnight showing of 'Ironman' with our son's friends, so that will be fun. But, it is a sold out show, so I will be around all those sweets and food. I will just focus all of my attention on the details on the screen, and not on the food around me.
I miss eating out at restaurants in social situations. That is probably the hardest thing about this program right now. Why is it that our society is so food oriented in social situations? Everyone wants to meet for lunch, dinner, or drinks. I wonder if it's that way in other countries? Maybe they meet more often for a walk or a swim or something more active? Maybe, but I doubt it. I think our species just likes to eat and chat.
So, I'm reading a book that embarrasses me to let people read the title. It's called 'How to Seduce a Ghost.' No, it's not what you think. It's a novel about a gal who is a ghostwriter. It's a perfectly normal book, but I have to laugh at the looks my friends/family give me when they see what I am reading. I am also amused at myself that I feel compelled to explain it to them. I wish I was just a little bit more crazy, so I could read books with this kind of title and not explain anything, just smile. ;-)
OK, wish me luck for the morning! Tootles!
