Here I am again -sigh- facing the scale at an all time high- Like so many others, we have faced difficult challenges this past year - financial, new careers, lost of family and the struggle to hold on and all of this took a toll on my health. I ate and ate and ate to deal with the stress. All the time saying " I will address my weight gain once we get on our feet" and that led to an all time high with my weight- sigh again
I am a yoga teacher, massage therapist and vegetarian. My life, career and values are focused on health and with all the stress ... I found myself like a zombie in front of the tv and the computer. Just thinking became more then what I could handle.
My husband and I kept each other going with laughter and affection and now the day has arrived where I have a little more energy and I am so tired of looking in the mirror at what I see. I am tired of my promises to myself that I make everyday to do yoga and the workout videos or the dumbells and trampoline. I am tired of my clothes not fitting and I am tired of buying the next size. I am 43 and I just want to be healthy and comfortable in my own skin and I want to be an example of what I preach. I am so grateful for this site and all it has to offer. Because the whole time I was struggling in the stress fog - I knew that Spark People was there waiting for me when I was ready. Thank you
