From the post of LTS, I get the impression that "accountability" only has to do with what you eat??

I, not understanding this, believe it pertains to ALL of life. I am especially concerned about getting matters attended to in a timely manner - bills paid, snow tires (still not) on, etc. As in: Rob went off in my car this morning as his brother has the truck because HIS car (a Miata - in Quebec? in the winter?) does not start and the "garage" needs to be cleaned out so it can be repaired. "But I have been hearing that for six months!" "Yes. Well now the trailer has been put where things need to be moved to..." He had "a meeting in seven minutes" or I would not have put up with this. This is my concept in the ultimate LACK OF ACCOUNTABILITY!!!!

I am prepared to wait in line, with a novel, to get the tires put on. TODAY!! More snow is expected and my car does NOT do well on snow. AND, most importantly, we want to be able to get to the Cafe, 30 miles into southern Quebec, on Friday for our weekly MUSIC FIX!

As for food: perhaps I do not try hard enough because I know experientially that I cannot lose weight when I am full of environmental toxins. I am a sponge and, currently, am having trouble de-toxing adequately. Current research is finding that environmental toxins are probably a serious cause of obesity generally - chemicals in food as well as those in the air and water.

After a major detox which returned me to optimum health, I lost weight on this diet: one slice of good bread with tahini; salad and humous; breast of chicken and lots of green veg (usually broccoli) AND THAT WAS ALL for four months - except for breakfast with friends on Sundays. After losing 25 pounds, I found I still has to stick to that diet to maintain! It gets really old.

I did pretty well until moving to Quebec. I'm afraid to look at the scale to see how much I have gained in the last 18 months. -----Alright, I did it! 160 fully clothed. Not as bad as I feared but still 20 pounds more than I would prefer. I actually feel encouraged to try harder! Thank you.
