Light in the Dark

Well the time has come
I must move on
We have come to journey’s end
So I’ll say “goodbye” and I’ll be on my way
I will carry memories with me
And I’ll always call you “friend”
I’ve a feeling we will meet again one day

Chorus:
Thank you for loving me selflessly
You gave me strength to find what I need
We’ll be apart, but you’re always in my heart
I hope you know
You were my light in the dark

What will I do in my new life?
Gonna travel ’round the world
I’ll be anywhere I want to be
The best part is I’m livin’
And I’m brave and feeling free
And I’ll proudly say “I’m happy to be me!”

(Chorus)

Bridge:
At last I’m not scared of my tears
I let them fall
Free as the wind
Your words helped me conquer my fears
And I love you all
I love you all

(Chorus)
(Repeat chorus

I feel happier already! I’m hitting the road on down to the park to record and I’m listening to the album by Josh Woodward that ‘I’m Letting Go’ is part of. It’s called the Simple Life and it’s today’s resource of the day.

Podcast Recap

Hold on to your hats and glasses, it’s going to be a wild and wooly time on the podcast rock today! I have an epic tussle with a newly discovered inner bully and kick its ass to the curb! It all starts when waking up in an unexplained blue mood for the second day in a row, I strap on my recorder, grab my half-written notes and head off to the park to figure myself out. In this hybrid episode of bonus off the cuff rambling and regularly planned notes, I decide to let go of having to feel wonderful every single day and ponder the source of my recurring blue mood. While I’m pondering, I give thanks for the new 5-Star rating on iTunes USA and a heartfelt special thanks to my second podcast subscriber. I reminisce about what I learned from my past diet history and discover that bastardly inner bully. Well, let’s just say I enjoyed what came next! Shauni L calls the bravery hotline with her reactions to Day 69 and earns a place on the bravery report for allowing her voice to be heard. We hear the reactions of Dawny and Diane the Champion to hearing their own bravery hotline calls last show. Cheryl and Helen also post encouraging comments.

Road heading to a freeway overpass seen from the sidewalk

Here is the VERY scenic view of the freeway on my way to the park.

Prayer rocks stacked on a sturdy tree limb

In the surprise! Department, as I pack up to go home, I notice that someone ELSE has placed some prayer rocks in the branch of the tree I sit under to record. I take this as a blessing and I go up the hill feeling lighter in my spirit.

I proudly take the selfie of the day. Then I actually WEAR my size 18W pants in public down to the podcast rock and SIT in them the whole time I record episode 69. Now THAT’s progress.

Podcast Recap

It’s an unexpected Scottish appreciation day in honor of BC Sophie as a bagpipe player practices in the park on the very day I was mysteriously hungry for, and baked scones for breakfast! I thank all of the Coffee Klatchers and Amazon shoppers and explain how you can use these ways to support the show and how to get onto the various special email lists. I try to correct my last show’s mispronunciation of Brave Companion Fionna’s name and take proactive steps to correctly welcome new BC Alana from Facebook. We hear a cool hiking analogy from our caller from Rhode Island, who I’m now calling BRICE as a nickname for Brave Rhode Island Companion Extraordinaire, because it’s easier than Brave Companion from Rhode Island. Together we muse on how much time compulsive eating takes up and what we might do instead. New BC Shaunie L calls the bravery hotline and allows me to share some of her story, but not her voice as yet.Cheryl leaves another supportive comment on day 68 and I tell all of the Brave Companions just how much their support on day 67 and day 68 did to help change my mind and my life. My new voice acting buddy and honorary BC, Max and his friends make a killer video on YouTube. We hear two very different Bravery Hotline calls from my new dynamic duo, D and D, Diane the Champion and Dawny. We discover Dawny’s been on the Half Size Me podcast! Diane reveals her own, very personal feelings about her current interactions with food. My husband, Mark begins a new feature where he tells it like it is about my progress and what it’s like to live with me now vs. when I was dieting. He will report monthly from now on in lieu of my scale. Finally, I muse on my main topic, What’s the difference between eating intuitively and just eating all that you want whenever you want?

Here I am hiking and listening to Dawny’s story on Heather Robertson’s Show, Half-Size Me. Episode 90.

I get all artistic with my photography on my way home from my hike. Notice how HOT it looks? It’s about 9:00 AM.

Full body photo snapped by Mark. It’s been 31 days since I’ve weighed by the scale. Size 18W pants and Regular Ladies’ Size XL shirt. Goes with this month’s No-Diet report by Mark.
