Slow to Change.
July 28, 2003 – 8:02 pmHow much do you have to change at once? Let’s see: I quit smoking, I’ve become more diligent in my savings and managing of my money, I strive to take better care of my house, and I’m still working on improving my body. How fast are these changes supposed to happen? Why is it that if there is no measurable change in a short period of time the assumption is that I am failing?
What ever happened to Rome wasn’t built in a day? I’m the first to call foul on myself and point out my faults, but I have quite a few changes on my plate and I feel that I’m taking them on with dedication. I admit my will is not all it could be (another change I’m attempting), but I haven’t given up. I’m down to 205 from 220. It has gone up and down, but that is were I have been for the last month.
So why when I mention a dinner that is pretty healthy for all accounts do I get shit? I’m a vegetarian. I don’t eat meat and atkins is out of the question. I said I need to exercise. That or starve. My diet is carb rich. No helping that. I am cutting out the chips, soda, candy. But fucking squash? Potato? Salad? These are bad for me? I’m feeling like I should just starve myself or something because it seems that all food, except red meat, is bad for me. Everyone is a fucking dietitian.
