Well, yesterday I just plain felt lazy about writing. We went out to dinner with my sister and brother in law, and when I looked at the pictures of my sister and me, well, I cried.
You see, on Christmas, a few pictures were taken and I looked terrible. How come some people get sick and lose ten pounds and I get sick and gain?
My face is puffy and swollen and I look like Porky Pig’s sister. It made me pretty upset and also angry with myself.
Now I’ve been reading all the information on the new WW programs. I know I have to crack down and get serious, so day one of my rededication to losing weight is January 1st.
But I’m not happy with myself, and I want to run away and hide. I keep talking to myself, trying to be gentle and give myself all the encouragement that I need.
I want 2020 to be the year I actually make losing weight a priority!
You look beautiful and you are way too hard on yourself! I never noticed but you and Mel have the same chin!
You do look nice.
Happy new year.
Sensible eating is wise, but acceptance that we of a certain age will never have the trim figures we once had is probably just as good. Photos of me that I like are few and far between. I prefer to be the on the other side of the camera.
How about focusing on feeling better and adding something healthy and fun to your life? Taking a walk with a friend 3 times a week, go to an exercise class (maybe yoga…;)?
