I got on the scale a few days ago. No progress, but no gaining either.
It’s been a rough couple of weeks with work. I am just drained. Teaching is really hard.
I never wanted this blog to be a journal of depression. But I guess in life, we have highs and lows, and I’d be being fake if I didn’t address those.
I have got to figure out a way to stop taking things so personally. I had a really bad interaction with a parent that just ruined my week. I still haven’t completely snapped out of it. But it hurt really badly, and I comforted myself with ice cream, cookies, etc. I started focusing on all that was wrong, instead of all that is right.
Anyway, am taking today to conciously work on being happy, being grateful, and finding a good therapist! Just someone to help me restructure how I think about things, how I take crticism, and how to work on my perfectionist tendencies.
I needed to hear that. That’s what I have been sitting here thinking. I will be fat, unhealthy, with hypertension, etc. because of some high-strung, chain smoking, unhappy person. Why am I letting these people still my joy? Thanks for the feedback!
one of my many mantras for the year….i will have joy even when i don’t feel happy. feelings come and go, and we are often unable to control them but we have to find joy in life in the face of unhappiness. letting no one take our joy from us.
that’s my two cents…but i find myself smiling even when i don’t know what the next step is. have a great week!
