I have been eating more vegetables. My new housemate made the most delicious yet weird sounding salad dressing and I love it. So I'm eating a ton of salads recently. I continue to swim 2-3 days/week and walk almost every day at minimum .5 miles at maximum 2 miles. When I'm not on a specific diet, I don't obsess about my weight so even though it's tempting and I know I would lose the weight faster, I'm going to keep going my own route for now. I'm much happier in the summer and fall, it's ridiculous. I'm going to look into buying a light box to see if that helps my wintertime blues this year.
There's a cute guy at work that I'm interested in getting to know better. The only down side is that he smokes and that just reminds me of the 90s or something. I was thinking to myself that if ever asked me out, I would tell him that I couldn't date him until he stopped smoking. A little later it dawned on me that cigarettes for him is like food for me. And if he were to say to me that he wouldn't date me until I was thinner, I would probably want to hit him. So, I'm working on being less judgmental of others and of myself. I think he would probably prefer NOT to smoke just like I would prefer NOT to be overweight. We're just human is all.
I'm extremely curious as to what I will look like when I reach my goal weight. I have never been a normal weight as an adult. I can't believe I've been overweight for 13 years now. It's been my normal for so long. My health needs me to embrace a new normal.
