Being Tortured

We were supposed to close this past Monday but didn’t because the lawyers cannot seem to get their acts together. How frustrating! This is a slow torture.

Last weekend I gorged myself, I’m not sure why. I think it was because I had a lot of pressure to get a project done for work. I did end up working some on the weekend and I’m sure I felt guilty about it. When I sacrifice my free time for work it always makes me feel like crap and I think I take it out on myself by being self destructive.

I feel better so far this week and have been eating pretty well. I didn’t weigh myself yet but I don’t feel quite as fat. I’m trying to acknowledge why I eat so that I don’t eat for any reasons other than being hungry and stop when I’m full.

I’ve been reading more about how dieting and yo-yo dieting can be really bad for your heart and general health. In some instances it was suggested that a stable weight even if it’s a little overweight is healthier than yo-yoing. And yo-yoing even if you’re thinner is still bad. The most recent article suggested that you should lose about a pound a month to get your weight and eating style on track. If you’re really obese you should lose just a few more.

I’m sure I’ll be getting some really good exercise soon once we get our house. I’ve got a lot of home improvement coming my way. I’m going to do a before, during, and after and will post pictures of it too.

The closing better happen tomorrow!
