icymaiden's Journal, 30 September 2011

It's so frustrating to hear other people complain about their health issues and the fact that they know their habits are causing them these issues, yet they continue their bad habits anyway. My boss is the biggest offender here. She is 69 and in poor health. She is very aware that the pepsi and candy and shit she is eating has given her gout, high blood pressure and urinary infections. Her smoking has caused her bronchitis. She keeps winding up in the hospital. She knows she should be eating better and drinking better, and not smoking but it seems she's rather be sick all the time. She knows what needs to be done to feel better, but she just won't do it. She's seem the proof for herself by attempting to eat better and she knows it does make her feel better. She just dived into the candy dish after eating carrot cake for breakfast. She was just in the ER 2 days ago. She's saying she needs the sugar for energy. I'm telling her it won't help and she knows it won't, but she's eating the candy anyhow.

Amen, sister...your boss is obviously getting something out of the drama of being ill. It is sad...and frustrating I am sure. Hopefully, your good modeling will hit home for her one day and she will see that she can get more out of being conscientious about her habits than not.

She's seen me shrink before her eyes, she's seen me quit smoking and refusing the eat bad food. I'm not the only person in the office who has really made the effort to quit smoking and eat better, there are 2 others here as well. Somehow at her age, I don't think she is willing to change for the long term. Even after a 2 month hospital stay she couldn't stick with eating better.

Wish I had answers on why your boss (and million of others) are like that. Wish I had answers on why I put on all this weight - maybe I figured I had turned 50 so might as well give up, roll over and get ready to die. For whatever reason I had a "moment" last January. Hope she comes to her senses before it is too late.
