New Year, new life
Jan 02 2009 22:22

So, this past year has been crazy. Money was really hard this summer, which made me stressed, and when I stress out, I eat.

Also, I lost my job, and had to find a new one, which took time.

And then people just kept... dying.

I know it's just an excuse, all these reasons why I didn't eat right, why I didn't exercise, why I gained back all the weight I lost (and then some) but if anything, it shows me what type of person I am. It shows me how I can be weak, indulging, and impulsive.

It shows me that I need to be stronger.

So, a new year, and I'm working hard. I've done it before, I can do it again. Also, I think I've been showing signs for pre-diabetes, and I just don't want to do that to myself. For one, I just couldn't afford medical bills, and also, type two diabetes is often a curable, not to mention preventable, condition, and if I can take steps to be healthier, I just need to do them.

Plus, I'd like my pants to fit well again.

So, here's to a new year, and a new, healthier, stronger me. I'll work hard (getting a second job!) and tackle my weight issues, and my stress issues, because these things are just part of being human, but one of the best things about being human is free will, action, and choice, and I chose to not let these things get me this far down ever again.

Here's to hopeing!
