Creating Balance
I want to achieve balance in my life. I used to obsess about my appearance and now I focus so much on my career that I have not been giving enough time to my health and appearance. I want to learn how to pursue my professional goals with passion and energy while leaving room to eat healthfully, stay active, and maintain a healthy weight.

I want to achieve balance in my life. I used to obsess about my appearance and now I focus so much on my career that I have not been giving enough time to my health and appearance. I want to learn how to pursue my professional goals with passion and energy while leaving room to eat healthfully, stay active, and maintain a healthy weight.
I want to get into better health and be more fit. I used to be in amazing shape--I could do a power yoga class, run for half an hour, and then go for a swim all in the same day! I definitely couldn't do that now, and I want to get back the feeling of competence and strength that I had when I was in better shape.
I want to be able to go into *any* store and fit into *anything*. I know that at any size some clothes complement our bodies better than others, but I at least want to be able to *fit into things*. I love to express myself through fashion and I absolutely hate that my weight really limits my ability to do that because I can rarely fit into the clothing that I like.
I want to be visible in society. The sad truth is that when you are fat you are invisible. I experienced this before and then with an earlier weight loss, I could see the dramatic change in my interactions with other people and how they perceived me. Now that I've regained the weight, I'm back to that painful invisibility. It sucks!!
I am doing this mostly for myself and when other people were telling me to do it but I hadn't formed the intention for myself, it just wasn't happening. Weight loss is *really* tough and if you're not 100% committed to it for your own reasons, it doesn't work. That said, I would really like for my husband to look at me the same way he did when we first started dating.
