Of Crafts and Prisms

Yes these are a strange pair but that's what occupied my time today. First of all I went to see the Dietition. I have broken the 260 lb by 1/2 lb but that still puts me in the 250's doesn't it. Decades are important. As you lose 10 lbs by 10 lbs it feels like you are getting something done.

During my hypnosis last year I got down to 243 lbs before the weight started to go the other way. My temporary goal is to get that far down again and celebrate with a great big cake...I'm just kidding.

Anyway, I explained to the Dietition that my appetite is in my head, more than physical stomach hunger. I can tell you here and now that I haven't felt hungry since the day I had the surgery. What my head tells me is that there are Things Lurking In Cupboards  and Sometimes In Plain Sight in my kitchen that would be Good To Eat. I then have a choice..I can give in to eating the things that got me up to 290lbs to start with, or find something to occupy my hands and time.

This is where crafts come in. She pushed a piece of paper across her desk with a whole list of things to do and out of them all it seemed some kind of craft would be the cheapest to do. Playing my facebook games isn't cutting it any more. When I run out of challenges and get too much money in the game, why bother. Maybe when I can extend my plot in Frontierville, it will interest me in clearing and fixing it up.

The prisms will be added to my new glasses (yes of course I had to purchase another pair of glasses!). They will be there to correct the eye strain I have been having over the past couple of months. Right now everything looks blurred and I am making many typing mistakes (thank you Spellcheck). The way it was explained by the Eye Doctor was that the muscles in my eyes used for focusing were needing help and it was causing me eye strain to focus on anything near, and increasingly, far away.

The prisms in my glasses would relieve the strain on my eye muscles and I would  be able to focus again. Of course these glasses don't come cheap, none of mine ever do because along with the necessary expensive lenses, I like a decent pair of frames. Mine will be a metallic burgundy with bling on the sides, a little perk to try and boost my appearance.

Cheap craft work and expensive prisms. What can I say
