I realize that some days my blog is more about my life than my weight loss. And I suppose that’s natural, since it’s all tied in to the same thing …. me. Â Perception about one’s self, regardless of size, is very much tied to body image.
I’ve spent such a very long time being embarrassed by my weight, or worried about my weight, or wishing away my weight (and why doesn’t THAT work?!). Now I’m pretty much immersed in it … and is that healthy? Some would say no. In fact, several friends and family have encouraged me to not think about this so much. But the experts say “yes” – If you’re truly committed to serious weight loss it has to be in the forefront of your thoughts, activities, and life-style. And it certainly is mine …
But today? Well (TMI WARNING) I’ve had a difficult day … not feeling so great. I think it was yesterday’s stuffed salmon. No vomit, but you know the other symptom … (I promised my sister, no poop talk). Anyway, it’s midday as I’m writing and I just managed some toast and a glass of water.
I did make it to the pool this morning (despite some yucky weather) and did a full swim. But not without some discomfort. The funny part about this is that I aways think when I can’t eat, “well, good, that’s less calories for today.” Good grief!! Dieting would be much easier if I just didn’t want to eat. 😉 Don’t get me wrong, I don’t want an eating disorder … just wish I had better appetite control.
Soup for dinner …
