Hi,
I should put my money where my mouth is or maybe just close my mouth. My motivation was great all for a couple of days. I went to a friend's wedding on New Year's Eve. Now don't get me wrong, I am really happy for her but I totally blitzed myself. I've done nothing but eat rubbish for the past few days. Self pity and to a large extent self loathing. I weighed myself tonight and I'm up nearly 2kg. All because my self-destruct mechanism kicked in. I was so jealous of such a lovely lady who has had a hard time and has now found happiness with a truly wonderful man. I couldn't believe that she getting married could have such a negative impact on me. I just wanted to hide with my Tim Tams (and any other junk food I could get my hands on).
I need to get past all the negative thoughts of there not being someone for me because, hey, who would have me. (Wow!) Time to pick my basket up again and get on with it. I've a life to live and live it I shall.
I've made a pact with myself:
I would like to be atleast 15 kg lighter by my niece's birthday on 12 April. (20kg would be better but one must be realistic - 15 is probably a healthier goal to try to achieve.
I'm back in the groove - head on straight. In order to achieve happiness - with or without that special person, I have to achieve inner peace - be happy with my self. I think I can do it BUT if anyone's some wise words to shout at me, please do it.
I think once I am happy with ME and love the person I am and am proud of me, then everything else will fall into place.
Anyway, thanks for being there.
