One Size FitLess.

Saturday, November 07, 2009

Oh yes. One size never fits all. I think this is one of the biggest misnomers in the clothing industry.

I've been big for a long time now. Normally it doesn't bother me. I go through my days, completely unaffected by being big. Occasionally I catch an image of myself in a mirror, a window reflection and I'm taken by surprise by how big I am.

So it's time - really time - to do something about it. You see, I've been sick for weeks and weeks now. Actually, months. So many months/weeks that my employer this week had a special meeting with me about it. It didn't turn out precisely how I expected it. It wasn't until I saw their calendar of my absences that I really realised how absent I'd been. Yikes. I was shocked, nearly in tears. And the absences were mostly sick: 29 days off sick since 1 January this year until 30 September. Practically 6 weeks. BLOODY HELL!!!

I realised there and then things had to change. I had an epiphany. I have had a whole stack of blood tests at the lab on Friday morning and I'm awaiting those results. On the 23rd of November I see the Dr for a LONG chat about my long time health. What is most important to me right now is an improvement in my general health.

I am prepared to do what it takes. I seriously am. I've felt so yuck for so long and it can't go on. I don't know if I have an illness, I know i get sick a lot. I get lots of heady viruses, sinus problems, asthma probems. Headaches. Tummy aches. Mostly the heady viruses. So I need to look at all the days I've been sick and figure out what it was at the time and see what kind of schedule they're on.

I want to improve my nutrition. Want to eat better, fresher, bright, nicer food.

Today I don't feel good - felt heady and funny in the chest all day, have been coughing occasionally.

On the plus side: made Darryl a bracelet today using hematite beads, cleaned the cats litter tray (twice). Otherwise I've have done NOTHING.

So onwards and upwards. Right here, right now.

One size Fitless indeed.
