On the road again

Posted on November 6, 2014

Well, I'm starting down the road to health in the right direction again. After an attempt earlier this year, I got discouraged and gave up. Yup, just threw in the towel rather than used it to wipe off the sweat in a workout that I should have been doing.

That seems to have been a common pattern in the last several years of my life. I have all of the good intentions, but a few bumps, and I turn away. Well, some of those bumps have been because of injury, but still, discouragement takes over and thats it.

I've got a more solid plan this time. More aresenal in my pack. Ready to attack this and get healthy and STAY healthy once and for all.

Lets get this!

Such an insightful reply, @ChaChiCat. It seems to me like you recognize the most difficult hurdles to health. Its funny, but yeah, we totally know that we gotta eat more fruits and veggies, cut out the bad stuff, etc. No kidding. It IS the psychological stuff that is the main component. Like with other psychological manifestations, understanding its impact is half the battle. Once you've got that, you've got the key to getting better. Best of health to you!

I hear ya. It's not a matter of not knowing what to do. I know what healthy foods and healthy portions are. I know how to exercise. What does me in is the psychological stuff. The stress and emotional eating. The being too exhausted to cook. Of letting go of my identity of being The Fat Girl. Who am I if I'm not her? Tough questions. But here's to finally figuring it out! *hug*

So true....as soon as I started being honest with myself & sharing....I started losing & feeling better about me ..
We need to ask ourselves those tough questions...to figure out the deeper meanings.

Thank you, Tori! :)
