Life is Just ROUGH!!!
Posted by My_Life_Now on 28th January 2008
Honestly, it is bad enough that my weight goes up and down like a rollercoaster, and as of late it seems my life is on the same ride. I don’t want to get into my “issues” on this site because well this is my safe place and my place for my journey on losing weight, not what is going on in my personal life.
But I’ll tell you, the things that are happening (not awful, just rough) keep me from staying on plan. Or I should say because of the things that are happening I KEEP MYSELF from staying on plan. I’ve been feeling a little anxious and depressed, and well I’m one of those people that turns to food when feeling this way. I wish I were the opposite where problems cause me to NOT EAT. But alas, I am an emotional eater. I realize I’m just trying to find a way to comfort myself, but I really need to find another way to find the solace that I need.
I’ve started reading again, something I’ve neglected because life is so busy, but I really enjoy a good book and so every night I try and read 15-20 minutes before bed. I’ve rediscovered the libraby so I’m not spending so much money on books. Yay me!
I did start hiking again with my hiking group, though we only do that two times a month. Again, family, life, things just get busy! LOL! I really enjoy the hikes to because my older DD (15) goes with me too. We have a great time together, and it’s our special mother daughter time.
I am trying really hard to find other things that are more constructive rather than eat food to distract me from my problems. I’m planning a trip to the Phoenix Zoo with my DD’s in two weeks. I’ve lived here a little over 3 years now and have never been there. It will serve a triple purpose - a great day out with my girls, a wonderful walk to add up them activity points, and a SUPER NICE distraction for the other things going on in my life.
I hope everyone is doing well, and as always, thanks for stopping by.
