3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION
This character finds himself generally chuffed with himself. This is because he's largely responsible for creating a cosy little bubble-world where everyone in it feels happy, free to be themselves, safe and warm. I had time yesterday to just sit back and relish the delicious cosiness of it all. I am utterly, deeply and profoundly grateful!
At last! The needle on the weigh scale nudged tentatively below the 15 stone mark - a loss of 2lb in the first week of Operation Equinox. I find it hard to understand why, with such a drastic calorie reduction, I hadn't lost 7. It's probably because unlike the first two weight loss successes, I'm doing much less exercise this time. I'm going to have to move more if I want to see it fall off.
With my only other immediate concern being annoying but not inhibiting technical glitches with Virgin e-mail, I have no true obstacles in my way to achieving my goals of making a difference my way.

There’s no need for us to be held back by the past or how things have been so far. The important thing is what seeds we are sowing now for the future.
