This year has really gone off to a great start. I am enjoying all of my classes (for now...), and I am finally at a point in my life where I am comfortable being by myself. I have, in previous years, been pretty socially needy. It's gotten progressively better, but even last year I was at a point where I would try to surround myself with friends and social interaction, at the expense of a lot of my schoolwork.
I am much more secure in myself now, and feel comfortable enough to recognize when I need to take a step back, and go do some work. Minor victories!
ANYWAY. This is not a post in which I brag about my life and how great it is and how you wish you were me (even though I suppose I kind of did... u mad?)
My housemates went on a Walmart run today... And one of the things that they brought back with them on their epic journey was a scale.
I have recently been on this - not so much diet, but more meal moderation - kick in which I eat smaller portions of food more frequently throughout the day. It's been going pretty well, I think, and aside from the unrelated fact that I haven't been getting enough sleep recently, I'm feeling better.
Which brings me back to the fact that I am impatient.
I started this plan on Monday. I am at the point in any diet modification I think that I am expecting SUPER FAST RESULTS like they promise you on TV except that I haven't bought anything from TV so I don't know why I was expecting it but I am.
This results thing was also doubly reinforced with the introduction of the scale.
I weighed myself.
I did not like my results.
But then I think to myself "what are you doing. it is barely a week into the semester. stop being crazy and just work on it."
I'm not quite sure what the moral of this post is.
To be patient?
To keep on keepin' on?
To totally give up and pig out on everything forever?
Maybe.
Bye!
My impatience has successfully cut short almost every workout effort I've made. In fact, the only ones that have stuck are ones that I've made into habits or have made fun (like climbing the rock wall). If you want to change something, make healthy habits. I always thought it was more in the exercise than in the food, but eh.
ReplyDeleteTruly though, it takes a while, but most good things do.
--that or you can believe yourself as you want to be and then be it but, that takes some good imagination doing pretty amazing things.
if you want it, do it.
