Where I Am

Friday, August 17, 2012

Those of you who have stuck with me for blog after blog know that I'm in a huge transition phase right now. In addition to my weight loss journey, I'm moved across state lines, moved in with the parents and starting seeing a guy on the other side of that state line.

Things are, in one word: crazy.

I am, in one word: miserable.

When your life feels like it's in limbo, you can't get your footing in any one direction. You feel as though you're drowning. When you're able to make a decision, things suddenly become calm. Now, you're able to form a plan of action. You can begin to make things happen.

Last night, I slept peacefully. Today, I felt calmness.

Cheers!

EDIT: I will let you in on my decision once I tell those closest to me. Love you all *mwah*

    I feel you on this as I am in the same situation. Our situations are different in that I had to move back home b/c of health issues, but I can't wait to get back out on my own and feel like me again! Or actually after all of this, I am going to be a better me by the time I get back out there.

    Breathe deep and take things one day at a time. I truly hope that you are coming out of the "miserable" times soon and finding a place where everything is good. You deserve only the best, dear Shelby. Hang in there.

    Aw I hate to hear this because I know you were so excited to move home. You know, sometimes it takes a little floundering to land in the place that's right for us. It's OK...it's human and it's natural.

You're going to be just fine, babe. I know it. Lemme know if you need me, love.

    emoticon I am going through a similar situation - of adjusting to 'retirement' a long 'engagement' living in 2 different places - I would like to be in one place ... so I took some time to 'identify' what I could focus my energies on and also had some control of - for the past 2 months I have come to Sparkspeople' and established a food eating and an exercise routine, towards a healthier lifestyle...I feel better since I have done this, the rest will happen eventually. and I will be readyl

From what I have learned from your blogs - you have been very successful to this point with creating a healthier lifestyle emoticon however, now that your back home, perhaps you can use some of your time to revisit old haunts, or discover whats new since you were away; be an explorer cause once your back full time into the 'work environment' you may not have the time...so enjoy this time to dream and plan...(it may also help you find a job environment you will love).
