I'm in an interesting place right now...feeling fat and chunky, convinced that I have gained a lot of weight, but the scale says it isn't so. I have experienced phenomenal levels of stress during the past few months, it's all just catching up with me now, and when I'm stressed, I eat. Wish it wasn't so. So I've spent a fair bit of time during the last month knowing that I need a plan, pondering what works for me, and what will be kind to my 47 year old body. The Move More Eat Well class over at Big Picture Scrapbooking is a constant reminder that I'm committed to taking better care of myself. The journey is just very tough for me right now.

sooo, I'm working on...
- being gentle with myself
- getting more sleep each night
- making sure I don't do anything extreme around food or exercise
- making time to be creative - it relaxes and de-stresses me
- being very firm about what I will not put up with - I'm drawing big thick boundary lines and not allowing people to treat me badly, and I won't spend time with people who make me miserable
- trying not to worry about things that I can't control

Sometimes courage is the little voice
at the end of the day that says
I'll try again tomorrow"
