Getting back on track

In the wake of the most recent events I’ve been turning to food for comfort, out of laziness, and as somewhat of a protest. I’m protesting having to take on so much right now. I’m flipping the bird at the effort it takes to eat healthy and minimally and to workout. I say that because it makes me feel better but I know I’m only hurting myself.

Why, of all the things I have on my plate (I’m referring to daily activities & responsibilities not actual food I’ve been shoveling myself lately), does my health & weight have to suffer. Why wouldn’t I say that the insurance company is going to have to wait for that call back or my employer is going to have to get that deliverable this afternoon as opposed to this morning, and even that I’ll call my friend tomorrow? They’re just going to have to wait until after I workout or take time for myself to do whatever it may be.

The negative impact that taking time for myself would have on my employer, a friend, or chores is far less than the negative impact the self neglect has on me. I know.

Despite everything I am feeling better and we’re slowly ironing out all the wrinkles. I’m gearing up right now to go to the gym during my lunch hour. To put things in perspective, my eating hasn’t been all that bad. What’s terrible eating to me now is nothing compared to what terrible eating used to be.
