i'm going through a fat elvis stage

[brigid]

i swear i am the only person who moves to LA and gains weight, i think it's supposed to be the other way around. this is even more frustrating since this city is so image conscious that suddenly it is really getting to me. i think part if it, well i know part of it, is how astoundingly NOT walkable this city is. in boston i could walk pretty much

same thing about weight gain - i think other people look good at a range of sizes, but the standards are somehow different for myself.

I know what you mean about not caring what others look like but obsessing about self. (In fact, I posted yesterday about "blah I'm a fatass" myself.)

I completely changed my lifestyle when I moved just outside Providence -- for one thing, now I drive everywhere instead of walking or biking, even though there's a perfectly good bike path at the end of the block.

Xerlia and I try to hit the gym (which we have to drive to) at least once every six weeks or so, though.

I gained weight in LA too, granted I had a baby but even after, when I lost the weight? I gained it right back. I think it's my age idk but it makes me hate myself a lot and I need to get back to the gym I was doing so good before I lost my motivation due to the flu.
