…I cannot keep blaming changing room mirrors, clothes that seem to shrink in the washing machine, bad genes and random skinny bitches for the fact that I’m overweight. At some point I need to put down the cheese and admit that I don’t work out enough or eat right. It’s taken scary photos at bad angles and skinny jeans bursting at the seams to make me realize that I need to re-think my habits. Any suggestions on how to motivate myself would be gladly appreciated.
…I’m getting closer to a happier work life. I could even say I was on my way to starting my desired career. Things are changing slowly and at times they barely move but they’re looking up. I have some very exciting things to look forward to and hopefully one day I can say “I love what I do!”
…I need a financial adviser. Every month I swear I’m gonna stick to my budget and save more money. Come the middle of the month and I have to do some stealing, um shopping at my parent’s place, restrict the social gatherings and go without new pretty things in my wardrobe. What’s even worse when I panic about not having enough money I tend to spend more. In my mind, spending calms me down and makes it all okay.
…I will definitely be making new year’s resolutions next year. I plan to stop being late for everything and instead be 5 minutes early. Except for fashion events, for those I’ll be a little bit late, tis the fashionable thing to do! I also resolve to be one of those annoyingly happy people. My optimism will be so great, you’d think it can cure cancer. Hopefully it will also be contagious and make a difference and all that nonsense :)
Ex-Oh! Ex-Oh!
You can forward the motivation suggestions my way too. I so need to get on the healthy bandwagon!

So a small diet coke, small popcorn and no sweeties on the side then?
ReplyDeletehaha! I have that pic as a *note to myself* on my blog. So far that note to myself is KIND OF not working so well. But I try.
ReplyDeletexoxo
With you on the budget thing. *sigh*
ReplyDeleteP.S You going to the Bloggers event?
It's like you're in my head and stuff! I agree on everything, I can relate...
ReplyDeleteExcept for the being late part...I'm always early...too early!
Oh my word - that sounds JUST like me!
ReplyDeleteI also spend more than I have and make myself feel better and buy more (Ok I must admit, I have been REALLY supper good with spending for the last couple of months - all part of my plan to get out of debt)
Being late..... oh boy, I am always late.
So don't ask me for advice.... but I do sympathise with you! :-)
Get a Dog, you'll be to distracted by the dog to go out and over pend and playing with him/her will burn calories and when you run with him/her you'll burn calories.Pets fix everything.
ReplyDeletei use www.livestrong.com to track everything. It's not foolproof, but I find that having a handle on exactly how much I need to exercise every day makes me think harder about what I eat.
ReplyDeleteCut out sugar and wheat. It may seem like a big deal at first, but weight just falls off. And eat lots of protein - don't starve yourself! And do exercise that you love. Go for walks and runs in beautiful Cape Town - it is much more enjoyable than boring gym!
ReplyDeleteGood luck! The bottom line is that health is wealth :)
