You're not alone in your insanity, lack of sleep, weight gain, self-acceptance or impulse fitness purchases. I can't tell you how many times I've been enabled or perhaps influenced someone with my raves about an instructor or the latest system.
I can't admit how many DVDs I have and the buying still continues, though I don't "need" another thing. But, I'd also consider it a healthy obsession to have. On the plus side (if you find Jessica doesn't agree with you) you'll know for sure after giving her workouts another chance. And, I don't think you'll have any difficulty unloading workouts if they aren't for you. No harm, no foul...really.

You might be pleasantly surprised when you reach menopause. For me, it happened rather quickly. I was having regular cycles like clockwork, then skipped one here and there, and then just stopped. That was it. I remember a couple years prior to my periods ending though that I had raging PMS and crankyness.....I didn't even want to be around myself. After the cycles stopped so did the moodiness and brain fog. I feel much better now that I haven't had a cycle in almost 2 years, although I still have night sweats, hot flashes, and now some bladder leakage. I guess that estrogen was good for something.
PennyK....my heart aches for you. I'm so sorry about your son. I'm glad you are concentrating on what's best for your body and overall health. (((Hugs)))

Erica- Thank you for your support as it is very much appreciated!! Sending it right back at ya!!!
Fanofladyvols- Thanks for your message! its nice to know that I am not alone! Schoolgirl- Yes, I can totally relate to that! Pam- Thanks for posting! It is very reassuring to know that others are in a similar place! Angie- I hope I am pleasantly surprised! My fingers are crossed!! Lori- Sorry to hear of your struggles. My story is similar...went from a size 8 to a size 16/18 in a few years. I am the largest I have ever been but that's ok! Whether the number on my scale is low or high, it no longer changes my opinion of myself. I am the same beautiful person! Although, now I am extra moody, forgetful, emotional and change my mind instantly! I hope your injury heels up fast. You said you failed at so many things over the last 3 years but I bet if you really looked you would see that you have succeeded at a lot too. I always have to remind myself to be kind to myself and treat myself like I would treat a friend in need. Hang in there....you are not alone. |
