11 years later...

Sister Feelgood was published in 1996 by Crown Trade Paperbacks. In its heyday, it was named one of the top 10 health and fitness books (in 1996 or '97) by Cooking Light magazine. Before going out of print, it sold around 25,000 copies. In today's market, that may seem like a drop in the ocean, but to me it means that thousands of women found its positive daily messages a comfort and an inspiration. Rather than letting it disappear completely, I've decided to release the whole thing on this blog. It's still under copyright, so if you share with others, please acknowledge me as author. Let me know if you'd like to see it republished in book form. In the meantime, enjoy!

Day 27

"Why do I keep doing this to myself?"

Does this sound like you? You weigh yourself. You've lost a couple of pounds! Like a dingdong, you go celebrate--with french fries, chocolate cake, sweet potato pie, and sundry other bits and pieces of junk food. Next day, you get on the scale, and horrors! You've gained the two pounds back! What did you expect, a miracle? Listen up: you don't have the luxury of goofing off, not until you've reached your goal. And, don't make it worse by eating more. Get back on your program right away. Put the scale in the garbage if that will help. Don't stop until you've reached your goal.

No more acting silly. I'm going to keep my promise to myself and stick to my goals.
