family visit

Okay, Huub's parents have come on Friday, together with two uncles and an aunt. Quite a lively crew, and easygoing. I kindof dreaded the food situation but wasn't really tempted by those Dutch pies. Was happy to have a coffee with everybody on Friday resp. a hot lemon on Saturday (feeling rotten as a result of this cold). Had some leftover chicken cacciatore for dinner on Friday and really enjoyed the Barbecue tonight, salads, meat, salads. Had to pick up everything and run inside for shelter as it started to rain. But anyway - food wise things are going pretty much okay. Have tried the tirami su that Friederike had prepared on Friday - she did a great job!

Have beenr eading several books, these last days, among them one on learning how to be thin. Interesting approach and aspect - it states that getting thin is important, okay, but then we need to have images and strategies prepared that make it possible to accept us as thin, and not as a hidden heavy person in a thin body. Never thought about that before but it makes some sense! How do I imagine my body once it is thin, how do I give myself permission to really lose all the weight I want or need, how do I find out which parts are sabotaging me and what reasons they have, etc. A lot of inner work as opposed to diets, around half an hour per day as the author states it. Might really be worth the effort!
