It's time once again for me to embrace the obsession that is "losing weight". Or, "getting healthier", if you like. I've been up and down the past year and a half with this weight thing, getting within 2 pounds of my goal, only to have my entire life take a turn and me to throw that aspect of my life out the window. The excuses have been: moving, divorce, dad's dying, dad's death, my cancer, hysterectomy, and moving across the damn country. Now, I've been settled for about 6 months and it's time that the bitching cease!
Starting TODAY I am going to be loving myself a little more (get your mind out of the gutter - I'm not talking about THAT kind of self-love). I'm going to be a little bit more patient and understanding with myself, and I'm going to stop punishing myself so much for enjoying life - and food.
I'm not going to go into the all-out obsessive mode like I've done in the past. It's just not realistic on a long-term scale. I need to start simple and go from there. I'm a lot more healthy now than I've been at some points in my life, yet I'm not as healthy as some points, either.
I'll log my progress here. :) Wish me luck!
