Aunt Sue: A smoky breakfast

I really do have to get more practice cooking. Just one week after making bean soup that was still crunchy days later, I made a breakfast for my nephew, Genevieve's brother, that was fair to not-that-good. Plus, there was a smoky incident involving the muffins. He was a good sport, but I really do have to become a better cook if I'm going to eat more healthfully. In the past, I've relied on frozen Weight Watchers or Lean Cuisine dinner, but that gets old after a while.

My niece said something in her last post that really resonated with me. She said it has hit her recently "how much I should want to lose weight." I feel like that all the time. I should want to do this. I do want to do this. But...... It seems to me sometimes that if I really wanted to be thin, I would be. And yet, I do want to be thinner but I'm obviously not committed to it.

A nutritionist told me once that thought follows action. I was able to stop drinking almost 17 years ago by joining AA and following a plan, in that case the 12 steps. So maybe I should give Weight Watchers another try. I'm already signed up for the online plan and I'll give that a shot again before I try meetings again. Perhaps the online plan and communicating with other bloggers would be a good combination.

Anyway, onward.......
