I'm hating myself right now. I don't mean "call the suicide hotline" hate, just your normal run of the mill self dissappointment hate. So far I'm starting 2007 worst than I ended 2006. I'm unemployed and I can feel myself gaining weight as I type. I was never a fat kid but once I hit puberty I developed very quickly. I was a DD by the time I was 14. So I've always been top heavy and mistook this as being fat. Needless to say, as with most females I have body image issues. Being well endowed doesn't always make me feel like more of a woman, it usually ends up making me feel pudgy and it's a bitch to find clothes that actually fit, but that's another story. Add the fact that I'm on the shorter side makes it feel worse. About a year and a half ago I went on a starvation diet, I lost weight and got pretty thin. Well, old habits die hard and I found myself heavy again. I'm not obese or anything but I have ridiculously high, unattainable standards which I'm working on changing. So anyway, this past November I decided to get in shape in a healthier way. I joined Weight Watcherss and was doing excellent. About 3 weeks in I slowly incorporated excerise into my daily routine. Of course I want to wake up and be svelte overnight but I'm trying to be realistic this time around. I don't want to be a lifetime yo-yo dieter, so I've been loosing weight slowly but steadily. Some people might not even consider me fat but this isn't about fat or thin, oh hell it is, i've got this obsession with being skinny. But more importantly I want to feel healthy. I digress, I kinda fell off the wagon for a couple of days there and I need to make sure this is only a temporary slip. I'm happy to say I didn't eat garbage today and I forced myself to get back on the treadmill and step machine even for a little bit but I still fear those 'off days'. I don't mean to sound whiney because Lord knows there's bigger issues to vent about but I'm sure most of you can relate. I'd love to hear anyone else's weight gain/loss stories of inspiration for me. What do you all tell yourselves when you're feeling weak?

One thing at a time as they say and they say it for a reason. Hopefully once school starts back up I'll feel better. I actually miss it. I've got all this down time as of late with no work, no school so something bad was bound to come out of that combo.. idle hands are the devils work or something.

I think everyone feels weak once in a while, and I don't necessarily think it's a bad thing.  We all fuck up.  The key is don't make it a habit.  I think sometimes, when we fuck up, we have a tendency to just give up entirely.  Don't get down on yourself.  Try and find healthy foods that you don't mind eating, and find exercise that you don't mind doing.  This way being healthy is never a chore, it's something you want to do.  Is this all too cliche?
