I have decided to join a gym. For the last two years, I have worked out by myself with DVDs, hiking, and jogging in my neighborhood. Now, I am burned out on all of that! It gets lonely exercising alone! Plus, my husband works out of town, and I feel so isolated at times when it's just my son and I. I am SUPER excited! I was a member of the gym about 3-4 yrs. ago, when I was at my heaviest. Then, I was not serious about losing the weight and only went to a few classes after signing a year long contract! I know that this is what I need to finally get exactly where I want to go! I am excited about meeting friends too! I moved to GA about 10 yrs. ago, and had some friends when I started working. However, when I quit my job to become a stay at home mom, my "friends" did not stick around! I think that's part of the reason that I got so heavy! I stayed at home with my son, and the heavier I got, the more isolated I felt. I also became more withdrawn, and anxious about speaking to strangers when I was out and about. My life is completely different! I LOVE my life, and the positive, (somewhat) outgoing person that I have become. I still have reminders that I'm still a "fat girl" at heart, but I believe I am strong enough to continue the fight! By "reminders", I mean... I got very angry yesterday, which triggered a HUGE craving for pizza. Fortunately, we were snowed in and I knew that no one would be delivering! However, I was happy about the fact that I recognized the fact that I wanted the pizza, b/c I was angry. I will always be a food addict! The key to keeping it in check, is to recognize the "symptoms" and deal with the real problems! (emotions) I am very hopeful, and very HAPPY!
