177

I put on weight and the idea is to lose it.

The void.  I have a terrible void which is sometimes a small chink and sometimes a huge gaping hole that needs filling but I have no idea with what.  Food doesn't seem to be it unless I eat til I am stuffed.  Drink might be the problem.  I can get very drunk and it closes up.  But the after effects are so ghastly I would rather not.  Smoking?  Sometimes that helps.  Company - maybe.  I think it is a feeling of wholeness and it is only full when I have achieved something.  A feeling of satisfaction is alluding me and I just don't seem to be able to fill the gap.  I am approaching it the wrong way.  I need to be told I am marvellous all the time and, although I do get at least one "brilliant" a day, it is just not enough.  I am never full.  I have to work this out otherwise I will be just stuffing and stuffing trying to fill the void and it will become ever larger and I will never be able to lose weight.

Things that make me really satisfied:
A good painting that sells.
A "brilliant" or similar sort of star for anything I have done.
A good piece of sewing.
A well grown vegetable.
A weightloss
A group of friends, nice ones.

But none of these make me satisfied for very long.  Of course when I look at that it is all about pride. If I feel proud of an achievement then I feel satisfied.  I haven't done anything that makes me feel proud lately.  All I have done is get drunk and stagger about with a hangover or slept all day or over eaten or done a teeny bit of painting.  Time to change that.
