Reviews"The storyline was pure reading heaven..." - Talia Ricci, Joyfully Reviewed, for Riding Partner "This
novella is an erotic romance and delivers on both counts - it is quite romantic
and is full of some hot bed play." Marina, Cupid's Library Reviews for Revealing
Photos " UNDER HER SKIN is so much more than a wonderful romance, it’s
a lesson in love and acceptance. It is an experience not to be missed."

I had intended to come back this week with bad news on the scales and a post about why depression is so insidious to weight loss. All those "comfort" foods, the images we get in the media of a pint of ice cream, or rich, decadent chocolate cake, or even cookies, how we "feed" our emotions, and for those of us with depression it can be a horrible downward spiral. But, whether it was because I wasn't conscious of what I was doing, or whether it was my body's natural rhythm or just because the scale gods smiled on me, I lost weight this week. And not only did I lose a little, I lost a lot. A whopping like three pounds, which pushed me over the hurdle into losing a total of 80.2 lbs. Guess I better go buy those shoes I blogged about last week? So this week I'm going to talk about handling surprises. It can be startling, shocking even to step on the scale expecting one number and finding one completely different. We want to celebrate! Cheer! Jump up and down for joy! Do all those things. But do them WITHOUT food. If you had a week like I had, and finding these numbers is like getting a winning lottery ticket. Yeah, I want to celebrate. But I want to do so right. Which means, after I return from my camping trip this weekend, I'm going to buy those shoes. I'm not going to eat. I'm going to watch what I'm doing. I'll be hiking a lot this weekend, but I'll also be keeping things firmly in perspective. Next week, I'll probably be talking about surviving four days in the wild without Weight Watchers foods. :)
