Thanks for your input Biki. I just have to decide where I want to go. I haven't seen a doc regularly since my son was born and it's time for a full check up anyway.
I weighed in at 231 this morning! That brings my total to 54 pounds.
I am still 88 pounds from my goal but that number is so much smaller than the 140 pounds I had to lose when I started. I am almost half way.
I feel that right now is the time to take care of me.
I have been taking care of my kids, my hubby, my office, my friends, and the problems of the entire world. Now I have to take care of me. So, I'm going to the doc for a physical check up, going to the counselor for a mental check up, and trying to find ways to be good to myself in my every day life. I've started taking really lovely baths with my lush stuff, I've started taking care of my skin, I want to go get my hair done and maybe have my eyebrows shaped, etc....
Why in the world did I give up all the things I enjoy doing? I love to read and yet I haven't read a really good book in a long time. I love to sew and crochet and quilt, and yet all those things are packed away. I love to go on nature walks and go fishing and yet I rarely do any of these things. I also think it would help my stress and physical well being if I started a regular cardio routine. The weights and everything have been fine up to now, but I really want to exert myself.
Sorry if this makes no sense but I use the journal to sort out my thoughts. Sometimes while I'm writing I have little moments of recognition and it really helps me understand some things.
Thanks for all who take the time to care about me and check on me.
You guys are the very best.
