Weigh in
Still no job. Sigh. Working on networking with people.
On the plus side, I've lost 13 lbs since I lost my job, despite not changing my diet in any way. I think its the lack of stress from the abusive manager. You ever see those ads for weight loss pills that say stress makes your body desperate to store more fat? No stress, less fat.
I'm real excited by the weight loss thing since when I moved out to Connecticut I was up to 254 lbs. I was having trouble breathing after walking three blocks and my heart was giving me trouble on occasion. And I desperately needed new clothes. I dropped about 30 lbs the first month I was here. At the end of two years I'd gotten myself down to 185.
Now I'm down to 165. My ideal weight according to scientists is something like 125 lbs. I laugh at the thought of being that tiny. I'm short, but broad shouldered and sturdy looking. As far as I'm concerned my ideal weight is 144 lbs. I managed that my sophomore year of college. So I'm actually real close. I'm also feeling healthy and very active.
Looking back on things that put a stress on my relationship with my old boyfriend, I think my weight aggravated things. I put on the huge amount of weight while I was with him. He didn't mind and said he loved me no matter what I looked like. The sentiment is sweet, but in retrospect it wasn't what I wanted to hear. He was trying to persuade me not to do anything about my weight, despite the fact that I told him I was actually facing some health side effects. I would have preferred a 'I love you no matter what you look like, but I'm here for you, what can I do to help you be more healthy.' So take note guys, I love you anyway is not all of the correct response.
