Yep, I fell off the “don’t eat too much wagon” for a few days and I haven’t worked out much at all. Did I say “I haven’t worked out much?” Let’s say I haven’t worked out at all. I have not stopped thinking about it – getting in shape – and I don’t want to abandon the dream. You might ask: Which dream is that? I want to get back into shape. I want to strengthen my knees. I want to lose weight. I am not happy being obese. Okay, there – I said it. Again.
Tomorrow is a new day. And I have so many things to think about and there is so much discipline involved to make any of this stuff come to fruition. And I truly believe that the key is not to give up and I ain’t about to give up on anything – especially not on myself.
Okay, there – I said it. Again.
P.S. I have noticed that people that care about me but don’t know the “food/fat/weight thing” are afraid that I am beating myself up when I talk honestly about this lifelong struggle. Don’t worry folks. I am okay. This is the nature of the beast. I am fighting to gain control again and sometimes I must fight with myself to get it. Just speaking out loud. Perhaps some “Amens” from my fellow weight strugglers will help make this point. But I love you for your concern. I am sensitive but I am a tough broad as well.
Amen, my friend.
Thanks lcn!!
Oh my stars…Lynne Jordan…you are quite something….just joined-you have an amazing outlook on life. I found you when I was doing my usual browse on anything Mia Zapata. She was amazing-I am wearing a Gits shirt as we I write! I am voice over artist and always appreciate artists who are passionate-I lost 130 lbs last year…whew, now that was passion. Need any encouragment? I’m here!
Oh my stars! Janet you are a lifesaver. I have been in one of my “no one cares, about what I have to say” moods and then I open my blog and here you are with these kind words. I saw a documentary about Mia and I was moved by her story so much. I still think about it and her. Thank you for stopping by and leaving a comment. I have been quite derelict in my weight struggle lately. will try to do better today.
You are so welcome Ms.Diva! I have enjoyed listening to your music. I have been an actress for a lifetime and just finished my first movie…oh-my Dad loves your music as well! I grew up with listening to Bessie Smith, Billie Holiday, Al Green and lots of rich, soulful voices! I thought of you while I worked out yesterday-remember,everyday is new and the word diet has the word die in it-so never use that word…live your life with no regrets and laugh like crazy. If you ever want to email me-my profile has my email….feel free!
I just saw this comment Janetplanet!! Thanks so much!!!!!
