i needed to go under my dresser for a dropped item, and came across my scale.
two things i really don't like are mirrors and scales, so i usually avoid them at all costs.
i decided to step on it for a change.
I needed to go under my dresser for a dropped item, and came across my scale. Two things I really don't like are mirrors and scales, so I usually avoid them at all costs. I decided to step on it for a change. Figuring that I had just gone through a winter sedentary period, that I was going to see that I had gone up in weight significantly. But I figured it would be good to find out.
Low and behold, I was at a weight that I hadn't been at since I was 22 years old. No dieting or anything, just trying to watch what I ate. Now that the weather has turned very springlike, I am going to force myself into a healthy regimin of excersize to get the rest of me into better shape. I figure I am about 10 pounds from my ideal weight (personal ideal, I am not a kid anymore).
It was amazing to me, that I really thought I was obese before that moment. I guess I have to look at things realistically, and stop feeling so bad about myself. I have started to make myself look in the mirror each day, and see what really is there, and not listen to the negative voices in my head anymore.

i have been having emotional issues lately, and recently purchased a book on emotional healing.
ther were a few good things in the beginning, and the last half had some good suggestions.
it was just the stuff in between that really weirded me out.. it was almost like reading a jw publication.
Thanks slim, I will.

It was almost like reading a JW publication. I mean 6 pages about helping some guy stop masturbating because it is a sin. That seemed a bit like 18th century thinking to me! And also for a scientific publication all the "draw close to the Lord"'s in it made me feel a bit uncomfortable.
I know if I had a psychiatrist with those viewpoints I would be uncomfortable with being a patient. I view myself as an athiest, and would want real help, without being steered by religion or to religion.

Et tu Brute?
Some Jack White lyrics that seem so true:
I want love to: Roll me over slowly,
Stick a knife inside me, and twist it all around.
I want love to: Grab my fingers gently,
Slam them in a doorway, Put my face into the ground.
I want love to: Murder my own mother,
Take her off to somewhere, like hell, or up above.
And I want love to: Change my friends to enemies,
Change my friends to enemies, and show me how it’s all my fault
And I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
Yeah I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me, anymore.
I want love to: walk right up and bite me,
Grab a hold of me and fight me, leave me dying on the ground.
I want love to: Split my mouth wide open,
And cover up my ears and never let me hear a sound
I want love to: forget that you offended me,
Or how you have defended me when everybody talked me down
Yeah and I want love to: Change my friends to enemies,
Change my friends to enemies, and show me how it’s all my fault.
Yeah I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me
Yeah I won’t let love disrupt, corrupt or interrupt me, anymore.
I am from a different planet.
My mother through her strong convictions breeded a JW. It was only through a serendipitous number of revelations that woke me up.
I am now from that different planet, I could believe in a higher power if he would stick a knife in me and make me wake up. I really do not give a shit otherwise. Love me God, or go fuck yourself.
