Fresh start, perhaps when I need it most
This community was originally a friends-only journal started by a dear friend who was able to whip her life back together, between debt management and weight loss. It was very inspirational to me, and I thought about doing something similar. I must admit that I am nearly pathologically shy when it comes to addressing my own faults like this. However, the truth is, I’m fat as hell, loathe myself in the mirror, procrastinate like a pro, and… and I just don’t like to talk about it. Frankly, much of what I might post here are things I wouldn’t usually admit without torture. I think I would rather stand naked on a podium by a busy intersection, than put entries in this journal. But if it helped Jen, will it help me?
It’s for this reason I converted it into a community. I’ve preserved her original posts as the determination that inspired me, and as the inaugural foray into fighting any sense of helplessness and indifference or just plain laziness that holds us back. If no one joins, that’s okay. At least I have a forum on which to hold myself accountable. If someone like me does join, however? Then we’ll encourage each other. You’re welcome to join me. Lose weight, get out of debt, force yourself to study or struggle through another mound of homework. Go start a business, or finish a project. Learn that language you always wanted to. It’s okay. We’ll do it together.
