| Introduction - WHO AM I? WHATS THIS BLOG ABOUT? |
|
Well hello,
Who am I and why do I think that I have something to say?
- I am fat, no, make that obese.
- I'm 40.
- I'm lonely
- I'm miserable.
Wow, this blog is going to be a barrell of laughs, isnt it?
My personality has changed as a result of my fatness.
People treat me so differently.
People take no interest in caring for me, or trying to please me - like they used to do when i was a lovely size UK 10 and weighed 112 pounds at 5ft 5inches tall.
Now at 182 pounds, my experience of life is different.
Perhaps i will talk more about this in later posts. However, i dont want to depress you - nor myself for that matter! I gave up wallowing in misery for the new year.
This blog is for my benefit - i always look after number one. If it happens to help others too, great - even better.
My priority is to sort myself out, though.
As you have probably seen, my user name is 'shocked into action'.
I have to change this situation.
I have to change my experience of life from being obese, lonely and miserable, lethargic, apathetic and hurt, into energetic, vital, outgoing, cheerful, life-loving, and loved.
Yes loved.
I have to be loved again.
I cant stand not being loved any longer - it really hurts.
What is stopping me getting that already is two thigns
- My compulsive eating
- My body shape and size.
I read a quote once that said, "If you change your appearance and what you do with your time, you life will change"
I tried that.
Several times,
No, make that tons of times - over the last 4 - 5 years.
Now, as you have deduced, i have been shocked into action.
I give in!
I accept that i cannot do this myself - alone. Besides -I hate always having to do everything myself, run my sole trader business, run my household, organise maintainance and repairs on my property and equipment, organise or do everything myself and alone.
NO more!
I have enlisted a nutritionist to work with me weekly - giving me information and coaching.
And i am keeping this blog - writing to you.
Do you realise how important you are?
Thank you.
