First take the log out of your own eye

I woke up this morning feeling great. I had an okay day with food yesterday. I am working very hard to put it where it belongs in my life - as a means of fueling my body not relieving stress or discomfort. Since my sugar numbers are higher than they should be, I will be watching the quantity and the quality of the carbs I eat. Yesterday I made Maple Oat Bread. I don't have to give that up. I can have half a slice in the morning and since it is so dense, a half slice is enough.

In "OO" I wrote yesterday that the chapter I'm in focuses on self-acceptance. So, I will be looking for a full length mirror. The exercise has you look at yourself in the mirror and describe what you see, but only in a non-judgemental way. In other words, you don't look in the mirror and say, "I'm fat." You make observations. "My legs are narrow, my stomach goes out here," etc. The minute negative or judgemental thoughts enter your mind, you are done with the exercise for that day. The idea is that we see our faces all the time, so we pretty much accept our faces. Makes sense to me.

Okay, so on Biggest Loser last night. I kind of felt bad for Joelle. She really is in denial. But as I look at her, particularly her eyes, I wonder if there is something else going on - if there isn't - how do I put this? Okay, in biology we studied the effects of alchoholic mothers on their babies. There is a distinctive look to the babies' eyes. Joelle's eyes look like that. I could be all wrong, but there is just something off about her. She seemed much more coherent at the very end of the show where they show what the kicked off contestants look like now. She didn't seem nearly as spacey. I feel bad that the friendship between she and Carla is non-existent at the moment. I really hope that changes, but at this point, Carla needs to take care of herself.

Now let's talk about Aubry. (Here's where the title of this post kicks in.) I really don't see where she got off lighting into Joelle the way she did. Aubrey lost 2 pounds in 30 days - and insisted that she spent 4-5 hours working out. I'm sorry, but if she's going to accuse Joelle of lying then she needs to look at herself. I really don't think Aubrey was being honest in her conversation with Jillian. Yes, the woman has 5 children. I can see how that is a challenge to staying with the program - but be honest about it. She's going to have to find a way to take care of herself in the real world.
