NEGATIVE NELLY
I have been eating away my depression and anxiety since last Tuesday. You see, something that I thought was going to happen in my near future took a detour. In addition to that, I had another surprise regarding a presentation I had prepared for a conference not showing up on the schedule. Two blows in less than 12 hours were more than I could take. I should be working on a 10 page paper but am tired of spending my weekends doing work. Aaargh! What is wrong with me?
I know that I need to exercise for my own mental health. In addition to being down, I am sick with some sort of upper respiratory infection. This is the last week of classes so if I can just make it until Thursday, I will be doing alright. As of this a.m. I am sticking to my weightloss program. I read Alexis' story for further inspiration and know that I can do this. I just need a coping mechanism that has nothing to do with food.

walk with me
i know how you feel. i've been there, sort of. not the presentation part. but the rest, i've walked in your shoes with the detours and all that. once you're done with school and have more time in the evenings you can concentrate on walking and doing good things for your body. i'm excited... sort of...about the yoga class you invited me to. when else can i wear skin tight clothes, let my fat rolls hang out, contort my body, and sweat like a linebacker? i have my yoga mat, btw. remember when i bought it at marshall's?
also, i know that you mentioned privately something about changing your diet and i wonder if you've tried WW? it's been the only thing that worked well for me, really. and that's what ian's doing now. really works for him, too. it's probably cheaper than the other that you're doing, and you could always just do it online for even cheaper.
