Rocky Roads
I commented with this on Diane’s blog post yesterday about having patience and getting ready for the long road to getting healthy:
I think I am ok with a long trip once I figure out what I need to pack and where I am going and how I am getting there. Haven't figured that out yet.
For me, still, I am so unsure of it all and still so doubtful, which is part of why I am in therapy. But I try to come here to sort through my own feelings and your blogs are always helpful. I know when I do finally find my direction and figure what is best for me I will need to work on having patience and taking it moment to moment.
This is yesterday’s food choices, not too bad considering I lowered my calorie goal by 200 calories. I wanted to workout but the new medication I am on is giving me really bad headaches. My therapist keeps bringing up whether I am sabotaging myself or if life is doing it for me. I don’t know, I think it’s a mixture of both.

It occurred to me though, I’ve been with my therapist for almost 5 years now I think, on and off of course. That’s pretty amazing, she’s the best therapist I’ve ever had and I’ve come such a long way since I first started seeing her.
I must focus on the good things, because I fear I have even reached the rockiest roads yet…



You will get there Robin. Your journey will look different than mine or other people’s, but one thing I love about your blog is that you don’t give up. You seem to really try and analyze where you are and work on where you want to be.

@Diane Fit to the Finish, thanks. Sometimes I really feel like giving up but that means I am going to be ok with becoming morbidly obese, which I will never be ok with.

I agree with Diane. One of the things I admire about you is your tenacity.

@Barb, thank you although sometimes i think i am stuck somewhere between tenacity and hopelessness.

@Robin, as long as you’re tenacious, you have hope.
