free associated ramblings.....

does anyone but me ever wonder which came first, the gaining of the weight or the feeling upset about life issues including the weight???? And is it some ugly cycle like the chicken and the egg? When I look back at my life history and put it with my weight/health history it looks like I get happy and then lose weight (went away to college and LOST the freshman 45 that most pepole gain - chalk it up to getting 5hours away from my family of origin and there are some other examples of happier times which resulted in healthier me) Conversely when I'm unhappy I seem to gain weight. (too many examples to note - just think of one of those life changing stressor charts and assign 80% of them to me in the last 5 years and you'll get the picture) So my ponder is how do you go ahead and really start to lose the weight and feel physically better when you otherwise feel so crummy? I guess I just have to do it. I think I'm secretly worried that even if I get healthy or **gasp** even cute, that I'll still be the same discounted/ignored or worse yet made-fun-of/discriminated against girl. Meanwhile, I haven't had enough water today, need to go to the grocery store for healthy food but am afraid of all the unhealthy choices available and overall feel tired already.

I promise I'll try to start posting some more upbeat posts soon. I'm just in a particular funk right now...

I think we all feel that way at some point.
