been awhile since i said anything on here.
things have been getting better for me in the last few weeks. i was in quite a funk for a good month there, especially after my old friend joe passed away. i ate a bunch of shitty food, drank a lot of beer, soda, kool-aid and other sugary, calorie-laden beverages, ate tons of meat which i don't normally do, and i basically wallowed in sorrow and self-pity for a good month. i also managed to gain 10 pounds. i have lost 5 of that 10 lbs since, however. after my last period, i lost like 3, and i've lost 2 on my own merit.
i have always had emotional issues associated with food and eating. it's much easier to put something in your mouth than it is to deal with your feelings...in the last week alone, i have dealt with some issues face to face with myself that i've put off for literally years. i have done some writing like you wouldn't believe.
i've also started a food and exercise journal. it really helps me stay in check with taking care of myself if i hold myself accountable....i don't know why i ever stopped doing this because i've had so much success in the past with it - it's okay to need help, and i can't let myself forget that. i have taken better care of myself physically and emotionally in the last week than i have for the past 6 months; and it's astounding how simple it has been so far.
i feel lighter already: inside and out.
me and dario went walking/shopping together today for a good 3 hours. we're going to buy matching bicycles. isn't that so cute? our 2 year anniversary is october 14th. i asked him what we're doing and he said that's for him to know and me to find out
he's such a sweetheart. i love that boy so much!!!
