Next Question
I will refer to my "How To Think Like Leonardo...." book, when Im at a loss for what to blog about. The question: What is one thing I could stop doing, or start doing, or do differently, starting today that would most improve the quality of my life?
Without question it is to lose weight. Not purely for vanity reasons (believe me, I am vane enough!), but for a whole myriad of other reasons. Health: cholesterol would go down, chances of heart attack reduced, and in every other way would it improve my health. Some days I feel horrible. Some days its even hard to breathe. And also the worry of what could go wrong due to weight would be gone.
Self esteem: Heres the vane thing again. I certainly would feel more like getting dressed up, putting on the spackle and war paint, and get out there in the world to do what needs to be done. Do what I want to do. I was thin all my life. I never had to worry about weight, could eat whatever I wanted and how much I wanted. At about 42, that gradually flew out the window. I started taking meds for bi poler then and some people will say thats why, I dont know. I cant stop the meds, so there has to be another solution.
I would feel better: not quite about health. I would feel lighter, brighter, have more energy, and I believe less depression. I might be able to truly love myself, probably for the first time in my life.
Clothes and dressing would no longer be an issue. I could shop anywhere again, throw anything on and look good, feel comfortable. I could be more in fashion, which I always was.
If I could stay on a diet, I would lose weight, plain and simple. Ive dieted and was indeed losing weight. My depression always got the better of me and I just couldnt stay on the plan. At least I knoe that its not impossible for me to lose weight. Thats a mountain climbed already. Many people dont believe this or there is a medical reason why weight cant be shed. Not a problem for me.
So, without a doubt, losing weight would be the single most thing that would improve my life the most. Ok, so where did I put that banana and beer diet book. lol
