Right now I am in a funk about the various problems I'm having on my journey. But I should not forget about all the advantages I have and how far I have come! What are some of the advantages and disadvantages you have that make you feel lucky or unluckier than the average bear? I will start:
Disadvantages:
-Diagnosed in the past few months with unexplained high blood pressure, cholesterol, blood sugar - might be metabolic syndrome or PCOS, they're still figuring it out
-I really, REALLY love sugar - started eating sugar out of the bag at age 4 and still look forward all week to my weekly dessert splurge
-Dealing with a neck injury for the past 4 years that makes it hard to exercise
-Have yo-yo dieted in the past and it's a lot harder to lose weight than it used to be
-Want to lose weight quickly because my doc says I have to get healthy in order to get pregnant but I'm finding it incredibly difficult and slow
Advantages:
-Good health insurance and good access to doctors, nutritionists, physical therapists, tests, and meds
-Living in a major metropolitan area where lots of things are walkable
-I like to research recipes, cook, and I love my fruits and veggies
-I love walking and I love weights (hate cardio tho!)
-Supportive husband
Your turn!!
