Okay, a brief entry to try & keep things up to date while my life is not playing out as *I* had planned. Gotta do what we gotta do tho & I keep telling myself,*this* too, shall pass. :D
First up:Reading & Life is teaching me very soundly that when I consume unhealthy carbs I will pay for it in some way I do not care for.That being *one* lesson learned.
The next,& related to the first,is the more I ignore the first lesson,the more I find I revert back to berating myself for the things I have ate BUT THIS TIME it's a berating I want to KEEP as it is trying to keep me & the healthy habits I'm developing in sync with one another! :D
Lesson? The healthy habits I am trying to develop have become *established*! O Hap-pea Da-hey :D
Second:Limitations brings Realizations...There is only so much time in a day before that day is gone. Even tho' another day comes along & behind it 5 more, before you know it a week has passed. Then this same process happens with months & then years & if *I* let it portions of MY life are gone that I *can't* get back. That's a big deal! (To *me* anyway)
I must begin saying "No,I'm not available to _____." because *I* will NOT live *my* life neglecting what is important to me & my happiness. I realize that "life happens" (as some people like to say) but I prefer not to allow my life to pass ME by because I'm doing for everyone else to such an extent that I'm left with not enough time to do the things I *need* to do for me.
I realize that there are some who are obliviously happy with being obese or over-weight but *I* am not one of them. I'm not asking those who are to change their life to suit me & my needs but just as they would like consideration shown toward them & their needs,I would like the same from them.And if *I* don't make this clear,I have no one to blame but *myself*.

Prioritizing myself was one of my biggest challenges. But it is like the situation on an airplane during a crash...if you don't put on your oxygen mask first, you won't be able to help put on your children's (family's or significant other's) mask.

You said it .... crystal clear. Discoveries fuel progress. Progress, not perfection, should be our aim.

Great journal - thank you for sharing. I have that same thought in the watching the 'weekly' pill dispenser I use for my supplements ... seems to have an unsettling effect on me like 'where did the week go?' Yep, at some point we finally realize we are actually running out of time and began to cherish and ration it rather than letting the spout run at full force.

Your 'brief entry' reminds me of when the military made a 'short form' bid sheet for contractors who built buildings. It was 20 pages longer than the regular form. :) Of course they kept it.
