Letter to My Nutritionist
I just wanted a little advise. This whole (weight loss)program has me really depressed.
I work a second job as a stage manager. I wake up at 6am, usually more like 6:30, take a shower, get dressed, and try to compile all of my meals for the day along with my backpack of files and supplies that I carry with me everywhere I go. Then I hit the bus at 7am and it usually takes me about 45 minutes to get to work. I usually fall back asleep during the ride. I work from 8am to 12pm and take 45 minutes for lunch. Then I get the mail and work until 5pm. At 5pm I go to the UPS box and then to the train. It takes me about 75 minutes to get to the theater. I then have about 15 minutes to eat dinner. I work at the theater from 6:30pm until 10:15pm. Then I catch a bus around 10:30 to go home. Usually it takes about 30 to 45 minutes to get home, depending on if there's a baseball game or if people are just out crowding Clark Street bars. By the time I get home it's usually 11:15 or 11:30. Then I do my rehearsal reports and go to bed. I probably get to sleep between 12:30 and 1am.
I'm tired. Making my meals is getting harder. Saving money is getting harder. I barely get up early enough to shower, let alone work out. It's all so very hard and I feel so very fat and it's getting very overwhelming. Finding what works for me is getting exceedingly difficult and I don't know where to turn. My lifestyle is not an option. If I didn't do theater and all I did was work here, I'd go mad. I know this feels like a Dear Abby letter... What do I do?
