time to start, again
What I wanted to talk about this morning before I side-tracked myself:
It's time for me to get healthy, again. I have no idea what I weigh but I know it's not good. I don't think I want to know. My eating has been for shit, I drink way too much and too often, and now that I have been back in Illinois I don't even walk the dog like I used to. None of the clothes I was wearing in Florida fit, and I was heavy then. My face and chin are unrecognizable, my ankles are weaker than they have ever been, and I sweat all the time. I am right back to, maybe even worse than, when I started on Medifast 3 years ago. (Two?)
I have done every diet imaginable. I know what I am supposed to do, how much I am supposed to eat. I don't want to follow a program, or have a coach, or even post online about it. (For now, lol.)
So I am just going to start. One meal at a time, one day at a time. Looking at the long view and the short one. Small tweaks and large ones. I will talk to my PCP at my appointment in October about a different weight-loss drug than Zepbound. Just eat better foods, choose health over comfort, move more. I will let my clothing be my guide as to my progress. I don't care about the number on the scale.
I cannot go up another size. I cannot go back on diabetes meds. So this is my solution.
