I’ve had a pretty rough year, and have really let myself go. I’m afraid of weighing myself and finding that I’m nearly back where I was two years ago, and I also dread everything that comes with “starting over”. Dusting off the calorie-counting software, facing the treadmill every day, and not having food as an answer any more. But, on the other hand, it will be nice for my clothes to fit better, and nice to feel more attractive.
I started today by eating a small lunch at home instead of something fast while running errands, and I will get in some exercise. I picked a bad time for this, because there’s a lot of stress at work after the tenth round of layoffs, I have an exam to study for over the next couple months, and relationship problems are draining me emotionally. I don’t WANT to make my life all about losing weight again! But I can’t let it go another few months either. I’m going to try my best to look at this as introducing something needed, not another burden.
Back after a long absence. Hope everyone made it through the holidays ok!
