stop being so sad (read all 4 entries…)
Untitled 5 months ago

Not sure what to do with this one. I got a new job and hate it. I don’t really hear from friends anymore. One moved away a while back and has stopped calling/returning calls. Another met a guy and never wants to spend time away from him. I met up with an acquaintance but it has yet to amount to much of a friendship.

I suddenly feel like doing something of which I’ve always dreamed but was too afraid to ever pursue. But I’m three months into this awful job and I’m not sure I could leave gracefully. So yeah, kinda sucking at not being sad.



exercise regularly (read all 2 entries…)
Untitled 5 months ago

I’ve been walking on a treadmill 4-5 times per week. My life has taken such a nose-dive that it’s the only thing I have to look forward to each day. If I keep it up for two more weeks I’ll check this off my list.



love my body (read all 4 entries…)
It's wonderful! 8 months ago

I’m making great progress on loving my body. For me, it’s not just about seeing my own beauty, but also recognizing that I deserve to feel good. My body deserves attention. This has made it possible for me to go to doctors for my health issues. In January I found a new primary physician and she started treating my underlying illness instead of just my symptoms.

The results: I’ve lost 30 pounds thanks to my doctor putting me on metformin for my PCOS. I’ve started experimenting with my personal style (even if I feel a bit awkward at first). Last Saturday I wore a snug t-shirt with a long skirt and sandals and danced the night away with friends. It’s very different from the old me.

I want to note that losing weight was and is not necessary for me to love my body. Actually, loving my body had to come first.
