Because of that age-old problem: money. I don’t have enough money to support myself while I pursue this dream job, so I will likely have to take a different full-time job. This is exactly what happened before grad school. I didn’t have enough money to pursue editing, so I decided to go back to school for a time. It is starting to seem like an ever-elusive goal :(
To be more positive: this is just going to take me a little longer than I expected.

For the past 10 years I’ve been totally obsessed with losing weight. It has taken over my life, to the point where even when things go right I still say to myself, “I would Still feel so much happier right now if I was just at the right weight”. I can’t blame myself too much now because I’m very overweight currently but I felt this way strongly even when I was in the 133-153 pound range. Either way, I want to learn not to focus on weight as the center of my universe. I want to learn to be happy without reservations. I want to see weight as just one piece in the puzzle, rather than the most important thing in my life.

I’ve been dieting or revving up for a new diet for 10 years and it’s barely gotten me anywhere. Now, I’m just going to try my best to eat healthy but without getting totally crazy about it. I’ll exercise 5 days a week and hopefully the exercise will keep me wanting to eat right. Good luck to me. Sadly I don’t have much confidence in this plan working either to drop the pounds, but at least I won’t be worrying as much about food.
Oh and one other thing: I’m never going back to dieting again!
