My, how time flies!
Still no real progress happening on the weight loss front... But having given myself some time and space, I can feel a shift in perception/attitude taking place. It's gentle and slow, almost easily startled! But a healthier view toward health, rather than just the attainment of thinness.
I sometimes peruse my Facebook friends' status updates and photos. They offer insight into the kind of lifestyles people lead. For example, I have a few online friends with photos of them hiking or swimming, or posting updates mentioning gym sessions, team sports, facials, massages and holidays. Other friends may mention things like a new movie out, an unreasonably high electricity bill, the world being unfair to them, or photos of them drinking, or experimenting with new hairstyles... LOL
It's all about perspective, isn't it? Attitude. Experiences - but particularly the way you interpret them.
I need to take responsibility for my life, my health, and maintain awareness of my perceptions and interpretations of experiences...
I have almost finished studies for 2011, and have just 2 weeks of work-placement left to complete. I should feel really good that I have made it this far, and will soon have a completed Cert 4 in my hands!!! :)
Our wedding is most likely not going to be until 2013 now, due to varied but largely financial reasons.
And I still don't know if the house we're renting is going to sell or not, or whether we'll have to move in the next 3 months - or not.
There are lots of things I don't have control over. But there are some things I can take control of.
I think I'd like to fill my Facebook profile with happy photos of me being active outdoors, and with statuses referring to massage and fun treats too!
As my fiancé regularly says:
"See all. Tolerate much. Fix one thing at a time"
