As you might have noticed my food diary the other day is half empty. This isn't because I forgot to eat later in the day... no this is because I was in a funky mood and had sleeped in that morning so my breakfast was late, my lunch was actually a large snack of grapes and cherries and my dinner was not calculated.
now I'm not going to let this keep messing me up. After having woke up late AGAIN today and still have not felt like eating I have decided to set my alarm for tomorrow. I'm not going to let my funk over my lack of job or lack of future prospects get in the way of my health.
So, going to make myself eat something now and try to get back on track. I might even retrace my steps yesterday and count up the calories I know I ate so I can fix my diet diary post.
Good luck! We've all had our days when we just wake up in a funk and it definitely gets in the way of everything but just keep at it! Like you said, set up your alarm and get yourself on track. I'm exactly on the same boat you are (down to the no job part!), but I have recently started seeing this as an opportunity to use this time to improve myself (i.e. lose weight!). Everything will eventually fall into place and you will find a job you love, but in the meantime, make the most out of the gift you have--that of time. :) Good luck on your weight loss journey!

Thanks for the encouragement. It's frustrating with the whole job market situation and my current weight issues is actually deeply tied to it. I have always been on the bigger size but have always been somewhat active in my work types (factory work and retail where I stood, walked, lifted a lot)so my first bout of joblessness when I first moved to FL, plus my soda addiction coming back at that time started the first bout of extra weight I gained since adulthood. Now its 3yrs later and out of a job again so I defiantly see this as the time to get this under control. Being big in the first place can be a hassle and I just gotten my confidence as a plus size woman up to where it should be... gaining ill health with more size is not a good thing for me. I'm so happy that I have gotten the motivation to do this and people like you who are cheering me on.
ReplyDeleteOn to good news. Its been almost a full month and only half a drink of soda in the whole time and it was sprite... so my caffeine addiction is kicked to the curb!
