Love Hunger #10

Some random thoughts first:

The movie "Wanted" is amazing. I love James McAvoy.

Secondly, I wish it wouldn't snow anymore but I doubt the weather will cooperate.

Did you know that 1 pound of fat equals 3500 calories?

The next section of Love Hunger pertains to having control over your strengths. You're supposed to finish the following sentences:

I feel I am in control of..........

People have told me I am really good at........

If I could be known for one thing, I would want it to be......

I feel like I am in control of my life at home. I control what happens under the roof of our apartment. I control how my son is raised. I control what I put into my body.

People have told me I am really good at writing, leadership/organization, parenting, and tennis.

If I could be known for one thing I would want to be known for my friendship. Money, jobs, and boyfriends are all great but friendship really makes the world go round. It pertains to romantic relationships, family, and actual friends. I really do value the golden rule and believe that I get what I give when it comes to being a good pal.

I had a hard time completing the first two sentences as I struggle with control in many aspects of my life right now. Due to changes at work and school, I have lack the control I desire. Lately I have lacked a lot of control with my eating. It's becoming a stress reliever...yikes.

I also don't feel like I'm that great at many things anymore. I used to be good at sports and more social aspects of life. I hate how work and school have taken over so many things in my life.

I must be on fire today because not only did I blog, I am also commenting on your blog. So I haven't seen "Wanted" yet, I'm sure Jason would like me to suggest it this weekend. Snow, no snow - I kind've don't care. I'd rather no snow but it's not really my choice. The fat fact is disheartening, that's a lot of calories. Calories that I have thrown down my gullet and calories that I now have to set afire to.

My answers to your questions: I feel I am in control of what I do at work, I feel like I am in control of when I sleep (weird but I am clinging to what I actually do have control over), I feel like I am in control of my money.

People have told me I am really good at listening, being funny, my job, keeping my room clean, being lazy, tennis, volleyball, blackjack.

If I could be known for one thing, I would want it to be my intellect, responsibility, hardwork, being fun to hang out with, writing, teaching, love, friendship, and memories.

I would like more control of my eating, exercising, discipline, and schedule. I want to be known and liked for my true self and the accomplishments and achievements that I too am proud of. All of these are areas I/we need to work on. Goals, goals, goals. Have a good weekend!!

Sorry about the delayed response to your blog entry. Yes, I did know about the whole calories/fat business...if you think about it hard enough it's pretty depression. My suggestion is to just keep doing what we're doing take it one day at a time :)

To answer your questions:

I feel I am in control of attitude, what I eat, my personal actions/activities...that's about it right now.

People have told me I am really good at...well over the years I've heard a lot. In school I was lauded for my academic achievements, musical/drama talents, work ethic, responsibilitiy. Currently I mostly hear that I'm a good listener, a hard worker, a postive person, good friend, responsible, dependable willing to go the extra mile (most of these things come from work).

If I could be known for one thing I would want to be known for my character because I feel that it is the foundation of who I am. There are so many small details that make up who I am but they all come back to the values that I hold. I feel like I am a good friend, hard worker, upstanding person (whatever people want to call me) because of my strong character.
