feedmysoul

I need to find me and in the process look after the me that I want to take into my future.

Reading other peoples journals has inspired me to try one for my own. Perhaps I can lose weight and find the inner me.

It is time to feed my soul not my body.

. : About me : .

Name::michelle
From::victoria, Australia
I am a mother of 3 almost grown children working full time in our own business. I used to also do a lot of voluntary work. I am an ex secondary school teacher. I have been overweight for the past ten years and have reached a stage in my life where I don't want to put up with it anymore. I have been so busy being wife, mother, boss, helper that I seem to have lost myself. Coping with one crisis after another without complaining but always turning to food for comfort. I need to find me and in the process look after the me that I want to take into my future. Reading other peoples journals has inspired me to try one for my own. Perhaps I can lose weight and find the inner me. It is time to feed my soul not my body.

PUTTING IT IN PERSPECTIVE

Have had a week of no exercise, lots of eating and very little sleep. As a result, and no surprises here, ended up feeling very cranky with myself. (and anyone else who dares to suggest I should drive to anymore country jobs in th emiddle of th enight.)Yesterday had an important business meeting so was faced with the dilemma of what to wear?? First off had to take E to get school shoes. I put on a sun dress and we raced to the shopping centre. When buying the shoes I looked in a mirror and could only see the extra weight I have gained with holidays, xmas, partying etc etc etc. Came home with only 1 hr to get ready and get to work and ransacked my wardrobe for an appropriate outfit!!. All my recent new clothes which previously made me feel skinny are now too tight!!! (haven't weighed myself in over 1 week and too scared to do so.)All my business suits, tried on and discarded under E's guidance are too big. Now I should have been pleased about that at least but No I was cranky because I had nothing "professional" to wear to the meeting. Thing is my self esteem was way down as a result of the last 7 weeks of over indulgence, so everything looked bad! Pulled on a pair of elastic waist trousers and a nice knitted top. Felt really frumpy. Then at work the business men arrived. They haven't seen me for 12 months. So I was greeted with " hello slim. What have you done to look this good!" Now all I can think is I must have looked so bad a year ago. I know I am feeling really fat now and it is my own fault but he made me remember that I have changed a lot and that is for the better. SO back on the wagon.... I am now heading again hopefully in the right direction. So thankyou to my businessmen for giving me back some perspective.

Went last night to see Billy Connelly. He was hilarious an dwe had a lot of laughs. He does go on a bit too longthough. 2hrs adn 30 minutes without an interval is a long time to sit in one place and you have to really concentrate at times to understand his accent. But thoroughly entertaining.

Today tennis begins and you all know how I love my tennis. Haven't held a racquet since end Nov so may have trouble hitting the ball so wish me luck.
