hmm..goals. now this a tough one for me. i have always had a difficult time with setting my own goals. when i was much younger there were structured situations which required goal setting, but goals were supplied for me. as i have become older my way of life has been to start something and see what happens. you could look at this as what is my purpose at this moment in my life. while going through an era in life, i tend to attempt in the figuring out what should i be learning during these situations. even now where work is concerned my goals are supplied to me. i totally freeze up, have stage fright if you will when any time comes to setting my own goals. maybe this is in my mind an attempt to not fail?? could this possibly be verbage and a different word be used rather than goals??
i have as most women and i'm guessing men do as well will always have body distortion problems. if anyone has had the ability to overcome this, kudos and admiration to you!! i can not imagine being able to see self in the mirror as others do.
now i have overcome bulimia which i'm very proud of. for years this was a battle. i had many friends who were anorexic and as friends we would joke to the other about wishing we could trade places. i used to say i'm not lucky enough to be anorexic. now this is not to offend anyone by no means, this was discussed with anorexic friends. lucky? yes lucky. as an adult i had alot of dental work performed due to my luck from the erosion pattern of being a former bulimic. as an adult i have two less friends alive because of their battles with anorexia. i used to think, once a bulimic always a bulimic. in my case with years of training of my mind, i can say former bulimic and this is true.
fast forward a bit and after years of being on a roller coaster i decided i wanted off. (now don't get me wrong, i LOVE amusement parks)
the last battle was after i allowed myself to gain weight due to a job and at the same time attemping to remove someone from my life. with the job i worked from 7-8 am until 10-11 pm at my desk afraid to even leave for lunch as i may get behind on my overloaded work responsibilities. as for the latter, he was a powerlifter, shotput thrower and a personal trainer. hey if i gain weight he will go away, right? silly me a stalker does not go away. finally he did.
four years ago one of my grandmothers turned 95 years, this was the final turning point to get on track for me. i came to the conclusion the women in my family live a very long time, i do not want to be big.
i started nutri-system and re started (3 years prior i discovered pilates and yoga and then power yoga) the exercises i had fallen in love with as well as allowed me to remove many medications for fibromyalgia management.
ok, so i have gotten off my schedule this past summer and need to get back to a healthier way of life. this will include the right foods and on a regular basis of eating. i tend to forget to eat. back to exercise and maintenance of the lost weight of 72 lbs. i need to develop discipline and not allow any circumstances to alter this discipline. so i guess that is my goal.
have to stop and get ready for work. cheers to all and i hope i didn't ramble too much....well that is me.
