Give Me A Week And I’ll Give You Bad Habits

By on 08/16/2009 in Catherine Hughes - Top Blog Dream

This week I have been an absolute slug!

Way too much couch potatoing. Too much television and sugar. I am not sure if I am having  mini depression episode, or fluctuating hormones or if I am slowing way down knowing that in two weeks I will be moving nonstop.  In two weeks I start teaching , attending grad school topped off with my  son starting his school schedule.

slugHow can I be an intelligent woman who has never been able to loose the eighty pounds I gained with the pregnancy of my son?  It has been almost sixteen years.  How have I allowed myself to carry this burden which has hindered me so much? I know what is good for me.

I have been able to commit myself to art, a marriage, children but I have been unable to commit to caring for myself.  What is that about? I am frustrated.  Has anyone out there been able to break their bad habits?

    It’s the strangest thing. Because it feels so good to take care of ourselves, but then we don’t.

    Committing to caring for ourselves has got to be the hardest thing to do. Wish I had an answer for you (and for me!)

    It’s too long without a meeting again. I am going to schedule an extra one to go see Julie and Julia – that alone should lift our spirits, but I need your schedule. Can you email it to me? You should have some emails from me in your inbox. I think many of us are where you are at and the next meeting can’t come soon enough – send me your schedule before things get too crazy for you!
