Venting
Sometimes it feels good to vent. Vent as in - you blame everyone except yourself for your problems. I wasn't intending to vent. But I drew this picture of an angry woman and thought, 'that kinda looks like me when I'm having a tantrum.'
Lately my tantrums have been about my weight and the diet I'm currently on. The good news is that I've lost 8 pounds but the bad news is that I'm stuck. I would be doing better but I've lost my motivation to ride my exercise bike when I got a cold (which I'm well over now).
All in all I'm happy with my situation - I'm not gaining, and I am doing something. I just wish that there were no such thing as diets, fat, cellulite, ... self-control - Ha!
Dang! That self-control gets me every time!

Heehee, we all need to vent. I myself have a love/hate relationship with working out. I totally get your drawing.
Smooches,

Anony, yes I do! Much better! :)
A, Completely love/hate! <3
I love the drawing, Joy. yes, I know exactly where you're at, get that angry energy into those lovely legs and kick that bike's ass! Loud music helps. :o)
Lol! I love the expression on her face!
Venting is always good. :)
Right there with you. Have totally fallen off the wagon. In fact, can't see the wagon anymore. Arghhhh. And this after loosing 27 lbs.
i think the expression on this face is a bloody riot. it makes me laugh outloud every time i look at it. :)
Weight gain isn't necessarily your own fault. Have you checked that anything you are taking for other conditions doesn't have a sideeffect of weight gain. I used to put on weight on the pill for instance.
And there is lots of evidence that some antidepressants are causing weight gain.
Checking the web for a suitable article I found this one:

Ian, you crack me up!!! I'm afaid the bike kicks my ass everytime!
Thanks Becka - I knew you'd get it:)
annieelf, I'm right there with you - it is an upward struggle, all the way.
KJ, i'm so glad I can make you smile!
Caro, I have a problem with the anti-depressants. Which for the moment I'm stuck with. Thanks for the link - I will have to investigate.
okay the bike thing ? this is how I did it. I only got on it. I didn't make a big deal about DOING IT and doing it as long as I used to do it. I just got on and did it as long as I could . Which was barely five minutes. But I got on it. And then once I got out of my head the goals of the past and the amount of time and energy that I was thinking I was going to have to spend, it seemed to trick me into doing it. BABY STEPS I told myself. I didn't LIKE it any better the next day BTW, but it was about getting the habit back and just making the effort first.
So I dont know if that helps, but if it does and it works ! YAY !
Love, S.
ps. Anyway I love the venting and the drawing. LOVE IT ! laughing.
