Milestones Part 2

Feb 20, 2008 17:26

I'm marking another milestone today, too, although this one isn't tied to a calendar date. I mostly just want to remind myself where I am now, where I've been, and why I can get back there.

I can't remember a time when I was in shape and my correct weight, especially if you go past early childhood. At some level, American society, growing up in ( Read more... )

Amen to the last full paragraph.

Now, what's this self-boost about? Not that people don't need one now and again, and not that you're not awesome, because you are indeed awesome.

But are you OK?

And you know how I keep getting you to say Starbucks and Blockbuster? I do not have any objections to you calling Crackdonalds by its true name. Even the salads make you go to the bathroom immediately after you eat them.

I'm totally fine. The first one really marked the fact that I'm finally effectively out of debt for the first time since about 2000. It's something I wanted to mark down for myself in the future.

The weight thing. . . I'm currently dieting, which is pretty normal for early in the year, like most other people who put on weight from October through December. This time, though, I'm trying to make it stick, which is an ongoing challenge. I needed to remind myself that I've done it before, and I'm better prepared to do it again.

Lately I've been stressed about a lot of things, and I'm finally getting to the point where I am just dealing with everything. My best tool is knowing that I've been through a hell of a lot worse, and that anything going on now is piddly shit. I need to stop being emo about it and just take things head on.

So yeah, nothing wrong. I'm just on a headfirst challenge to get my life in order.
