    I’m at home sitting at my desk. The thought what am I going to eat for lunch just entered my consciousness. It’s just before 11am and I ate a full breakfast 4 hours ago. In my kitchen fridge I have a bag of feta cheese, tomatoes, cucumbers, kalamata olives, green bell peppers and in one of the cupboards I have a can of garbanzo beans. I have a bottle of balsamic salad dressing. I also have onions. I’ll prepare a Greek salad for lunch before I get hungry.

    I feel blessed knowing that my kitchen and fridge and freezer are filled with fresh nutritious foods. The stove and oven and microwave all work well. I have an adequate supply of pots and pans and cooking tools, plates and utensils and Tupperware containers to keep food I’ve prepared and don’t eat right away fresh in the fridge and in the freezer.

    When I’m home I can walk to my kitchen whenever I want and eat a snack and to prepare meals. I have a gallon of fresh milk and a gallon of cran-raspberry juice in the fridge.

    I am living the life I dreamed of and yearned for 5 years ago. I am never hungry for too long. When I leave home I can buy food at a restaurant where I am welcome and a valued guest. I have the money to buy the foods I want to eat and pay gratuity for good service.

    I eat enough fresh nutritious food every day. I drink enough clear clean and filtered water and spring water every day.

    I am blessed to have enough food to eat when I get hungry. I eat good foods. I eat the foods I want to eat, the foods I crave to eat. I eat quality foods that are fresh and well prepared, organic and free range and cage free without pesticides and without chemical flavors and without unnecessary preservatives and without unnecessary food coloring and without MSG.

    I can afford to buy all the food that I eat. I can afford to pay a high price for food when I feel like eating at a fancy restaurant and I can afford to pay for expensive ingredients and food items at a grocery store when I want to.

    I have enough food to share with friends. I can prepare meals to share with friends.

    Having enough food to eat every day and every night and late night snacks when I want to is a blessing I’m grateful for.

    When I see someone who is hungry I can buy them a meal. When I see someone who looks like they are severely malnourished I can give them food.

    When I see someone who is thirsty I can give them a bottle of water.

    My goal is not to feed every hungry person I see. I can however feed a hungry person or give a bottle of water to a thirsty person when I want to.

  • I want to get fit

    I’m 48 years old. I weigh 219 pounds. I’m 5’7″. I’d like to lose close to 60 pounds of weight more or less. I am big boned. I want to get stronger. I want to get in shape. I want to be muscular and have no extra fat. My tummy is large. My extra weight is almost all in my tummy. To lose weight, get in shape and gain muscle mass I’ll eat smaller portions of food and eat less sugary candy and drink more water and exercise jogging, doing sit ups and push ups. I’ll drink less alcohol. I won’t overeat. I need to get on a routine of exercising and stay on it.

    Getting in shape and fit will increase my energy and stamina and endurance and resilience. When I’m in shape I feel better about myself, my confidence increases and I feel better. By gradually losing weight going to my ideal weight of around 160 pounds my health will increase.

    5 years ago I was homeless and often hungry. I probably weighed near 160 pounds and was lean. I walked a lot. I ate what I could which was often low quality cheap foods.

    When I first got back into housing I was fed endless plates of donated food breakfast lunch and dinner and snacks between meals and after dinner almost every day. My weight shot up and I didn’t exercise barely at all. I stopped going on long walks. My weight has increased since.

    After being in housing for 7 months and off the streets I moved into the apartment buildings where I rent the apartment I live in. I continued to eat a lot of food every day. I started shopping for my own food and cooking all my meals other than meals I ate at restaurants. The quality of food I ate increased, but I was eating large portions, larger than what’s best for my health. After living in the apartment for 10 months I went back to work 20 hours per week. The work is almost completely manual labor. I got some exercise at work and didn’t exercise much at all outside of work. My food portions remained excessive and I snacked between most meals. My weight steadily increased and has hovered around 218-225 pounds for nearly 5 years.

    Today is March 26th 2026. It’s 7:12 am Pacific. I’m sitting at my desk. I have a long life to live and a lot of love to give.

    Improving my health will increase my happiness and well being.

    I can go back to work full time and get off SSDI. Getting on an exercise routine and staying on it is a way to achieve my stated goal.

    Live is good
