3. TODAY'S SELF-OBSERVATION 

My second day of clandestine fasting went well, though I noticed that my mood swung considerably. Since my mood also swings when I'm eating, there must be another reason, possibly dehydration and fatigue. My mood swung upwards following a drink and a break. 

Having such an unstable temperament is paradoxically a strength, because it forces me to be mindful. I have to do things and focus on things in order to keep mentally healthy, and what I've learned is invaluable working with clients. 

Though I haven't tied down the causes of mood swings, I've learned enough to keep functional, and I also know beyond doubt how to lose weight and keep it off once I have - this will be third and last time I will need to get back to a healthy weight. Tomorrow I "go public" and turn it into a publicity exercise!

8. TRIVIA
A male emperor angelfish lives together with up to five female mates. If the emperor angelfish dies, one of the females turns into a male fish and becomes the leader of the group.

9. ZEN WISDOM
Happiness does not exist as an isolated quality, nor does it conform to a single fixed pattern. Happiness is something that breathes and lives in the relationships between one person and another.
