Intense
July 19th, 2009
Today was the start of intensive summer classes at work. That means I work from 9-1PM and then from 4-10:20PM. We have breaks in the middle, so it’s not all strictly work time, but it’s still about a 10 hour day. Yikes.
Also, today (July 20) I weigh 74.2 kgs (163.24 lbs).
On June 11, I weighed 66.5 kgs (146.3).
In a little over a month, I went up about almost 10 kgs (22 lbs)
It’s so not about the weight (but it kind of is…) There were no large important life events. I think it was partly because I was coming off such a restrictive way of eating and could not do it anymore, but also, it’s just me whining.
I heard in a podcast that debt is financial whining (”But I want it…” “But I need it…”) If that’s true, then being overweight is definitely “physical whining” (”But I’m hungry….” “But I deserve it…”) No more excuses, body! It’s time to get serious about the foods that make you stronger and the foods that just bring you down. I already know the foods that bring me down and the foods that cause me to “lose focus”. It’s time to stop acting stupid and put that knowledge to work.
Now is the time!

This is my second time with a 20 pound gain after my significant weight loss. I’m done with that garbage. LOL… Gotta get it off and keep it off–Gotta keep focused! You’re right.

your comment about debt as financial whining and extra weight as physical whining has given me something to think about.
i’m sorry things seem to be such a struggle right now, sweetie. people who don’t have weight and food issues haven’t a clue how complicated and arduous the journey is for those of us who do struggle with those things. it really does require a major overhaul of one’s approach to life and their relationship with themselves and everyone else.
chin up, love. major changes are tough in the beginning but there will be better days ahead for you.
