The hating-yourself thing probably isn't going to help you in your goal. ;)
Oh, I know that. I just thought that if I scold myself harshly enough in a public post, I might actually be more liable to get my act together.;)
There are so many societal, environmental, and evolutionary forces working against us that it's no wonder so many have problems
Yes, that's true. But also very easy to use as an excuse for letting yourself go (of which I am just as guilty as the next person, I guess).:(
both weight loss and food industries have billions of dollars to research how best to affect us, and unfortunately they don't always have our best interests at heart
Again, very true, and rather depressing.:(
Just be a little forgiving of yourself as you start the journey and just vow to be different in the future
Oh, believe me, I am way too forgiving of myself on a daily basis. I am probably one of the most self-indulgent people you'll ever meet. It's the voice of reason inside my head that gets pissed off and cracks a whip every once in a while - with little to no effect, I might say.:/
Well, I am 36, but I don't think I will ever get back to my 32 year old body - unless I quit my office job and go back to retail and picking up merchandise after customers or stacking shelves all day long.;)
Do you do weights at all?
Uhh... no. Unless you count shopping bags.:P
Okay, so I seem to be spamming your journal lately with all sorts of silly stuff. Don't mind me. ;)
Spam me all you want. Your comments are thoughtful and informative, and I really appreciate that. *pats you on the back* ;)
