Ennay - It's nice to know someone is in the same boat. Somehow that helps a little and makes me feel a little less disappointed in myself. We are human!
I relate so much to what you've said about getting life in order, so that the eating will follow. It's all so darned interconnected! It seems to be the struggle of my life to find balance, to get organized (time and things), etc. etc. I am happily married, but we have no kids. Yet, I feel as though I'm often chasing my tail.
I teach (a large stressor and exhausting factor in my life), and we just had a very nice two week break. I spent lots of time with family and friends, but I also managed to do lots of long overdue organizing in my house and tie up lots of loose ends in my life -- crossing things off my list that have been on there for MONTHS or even
longer gave me a sense of peace and helped me sleep better. I feel more ready to now tackle the body stuff - eating/exercise - but I still feel I have a ways to go. In fact, I feel it's unending. I am also currently not 100% happy with my job and some other areas of life, so those things filter in to how I care for myself too. Anyway, just wanted to share that. It's all kind of subconscious, but I know it's all connected. It's helping me to recognize it and begin to tackle it all.
Well, yesterday was good for food - first time in while. Calories 1300. A little lower than what I'm shooting for, but I need a day like that. No exercise last two days, but I will be moving today and tomorrow.
Have a healthy day, ladies! We're all in this together.
