Having been on both sides of the spectrum--having to worry both about gaining weight and losing it--I have to tell you, it's all about getting your head right. Because once you damage your thinking, no matter what you look like or what size you are, it's never optimal. You'll never be happy and you'll never stop perseverating. Clean up your headspace first.

I'm in the same boat and can't decide if I should chuck it all and just accept myself as I am or diet and obsess about food for the rest of my life. <br />Thanks so much for visiting my blog. I'll definitely be revisiting here. :)Patience_Crabstickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16860012969550268614noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8559159676398284756.post-40693491471661936262013-01-01T22:19:25.466-06:002013-01-01T22:19:25.466-06:00Thank you, Kelley.

You are not at an unhealthy weight, you are in an unhealthy state of mind. This is true of far too many women.Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8559159676398284756.post-36575552210235182832013-01-01T20:59:32.490-06:002013-01-01T20:59:32.490-06:00It kind of hit me today when I was bombarded with ...It kind of hit me today when I was bombarded with weight loss ads during the Law and Order: SVU marathon, that Weight Watchers, and Nutrisystem and Sensa and Alli and all the other weight loss companies out there, feed on our fears of being overweight, feed on our insecurities by telling us we would be better women if only we were thin. Is it important to be healthy? Absolutely, but need to accept that part of being healthy is having a healthy mindset and accepting ourselves as we are NOW. It's really easy to type this, but boy, living it is tough. I wish I had the right advice, too.

The whole discussion of weight and losing it - *sigh*. Unfortunately, I have no advice for you: otherwise I'd write a book. I just keep slogging along day after day, hoping to find that 'balance' I keep reading about but repeatedly coming to the conclusion that the only way I'm going to get where I want to be is to become some sort of a diet/fitness zealot - and I don't think I have it in me. On a completely unrelated topic, though: I am so glad to have found your blog again! Have spent the last hour or so sifting through all the posts I've missed and reading parts of them aloud to DH (trying to telecommute today, the poor man.) I was reading your other blog back when you went through the whole 'internet principal' situation and then went to a different private blog, and then somewhere in all of that, I moved to Korea and thought that I would never find you in cyberspace again. Glad you're back. And when do you find out about that high school job? Or is it a done deal and I missed it? Have taught at both ends of the spectrum and they both have their drawbacks, although I have to say at the top of the SES heap I at least never ran into any 'pirate teeth.'

My deadline is February 15, when I step out on stage in a role in "Calendar Girls". But here's the thing: I'm losing this weight to be more true to the character, BECAUSE HE IS WASTING AWAY FROM CANCER. Think about that. I am trying to lose perfectly good (and well-earned) weight SO I CAN LOOK LIKE I AM DYING. Ah, the goals we embrace ...Nilbohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03190692997264305872noreply@blogger.com
