I would say yes and no. I want to protect myself but it has gotten to the point where I feel like I have less to lose. I would say that it is true of the past but not as much now but then again, more in terms of he added pain of feeling older and more alienated. I used to really care about everything and felt like everything mattered so much and now I don’t care about much and feel like less matters. There is something stopping me and however much I don’t want it to be true, it is fear of failure or the pain from doing the wrong thing or making the wrong choice and making things worse.
So over the last two years I’ve been seriously trying to lose weight after lots of half hearted attempts. At the end of last year I put about half of the weight I had lost that year back on. Then I went through a bad time and decided for health reasons I really needed to get rid of the excess weight I was carrying. Since May’09 I’ve lost about 21 pounds and in total from about the beginning of 2008 I’ve lost over 30. It is about halfway of where I’d like to be. I just think I’ve come this far why not aim to be slim. I want to weigh 132 pounds.
