Guest guest Posted July 21, 2003 Report Share Posted July 21, 2003 Howdy all, I just have to put this out there. I am really white knuckling it right now. The munchies have got me bad. I know the reasons...lots of small stuff, all inconsequential by themselves, but they add up to stress and boredom. I also know the answer, but I feel terribly unmotivated right now. It is so weird. A month ago I was gung ho and couldn't imagine living any other way. But I guess the old bad habits can rear their ugly heads when we least expect it. Another reminder that this is a lifetime battle, not just a temporary fix. Luckily I haven't gained any weight, but if I don't straighten up, it is just a matter of time. I will try to go back to the gym today despite my ripped out shoulder. Even if I only do half an hour on the bike, it should relieve stress and at least make me feel like I did something good for myself. I don't want to put the cart before the horse, but I wouldn't be surprised if I'm in for a long haul with my husband being out of work. It's nice having him around because now he has a very positive attitude. But people here near Silicon Valley are out of work 1-2 years, even the quite experienced people. There's just no work. I need to be especially attentive to staying on an even keel if it should take hubby awhile to find something. I don't worry financially, but it definitely takes an emotional toll on the job seeker. Hopefully I won't be the target, if you know what I mean. Well, that all may not happen and I will keep a positive attitude both for myself, my hubby and my family. But forewarned is forearmed. This three day slip is a good warning to me that I need to be more in tune with what is happening inside me. There's nothing that can happen which stuffing my face will make better. Onward ho!
