165

165... that's my weight right now. I'm just puttin' it out there. I was watching "100 top celebrity slim downs" and with the exception of maybe two people, I weigh more than all of the women at their heaviest. This of course inspired me to begin looking at photos, past and present, of me. I have always been over weight (in my mind) but now I'm seriously over weight in reality too.

Stress, too many hours working, not enough hours sleeping, and the emotional anxiety of this last year have taken their toll. I look so much older even than a year ago. I look tired. Some days I care, most I don't.

I was thinking that this coming week I may have a lot of answers I've been looking for professionally, which could address some of the challenges I've had financially, and then I can get on track. Then it struck me, this past three years have been like that for me. One situation after another, if I could just get past it, then I could start thinking about my weight. I could lie and say, I could start thinking about my health, but I know that's not it. Other than when I thought I was having a heart attack, I haven't been to a doctor in at least three maybe four years. I haven't been to an OB/GYN in all that time, I don't take vitamins, and dinner is often whatever's in the fridge, two to three glasses of wine, or nothing.

I don't even know where to begin but 165 sucks. 165 sucks and if I don't do something it may not even be the highest number I see on the scale.

All I can say is that work pressure will always be there, even after we are gone. So don't be suppressed by that. And nothing will change if you just keep on worrying. I read somewhere...

Accept what you can't change and change what you can't accept.

I don't know what is going on in your lyf, but yes I know lyf is tough and it's not fair either. But you gotta keep trying. Good Luck... Hope to see a different post sometime soon.

I recall a recent juicer purchase and a couple of small gifts from a friend that might be a good start for you. Of course, to use them you'll have to give yourself permission to take about 4 days off work. Isn't there a Labor Day holiday weekend coming up soon? Maybe an extra day can be squeezed from the schedule and you'll be set to detox and jump-start your healthy new life? Good luck, my friend.
