It has been a while fellow bloggers. Sorry for being a stranger again. I am new to blogging and finding balance in my life (pre-blogging) has always been a challenge. Glad to be back...
I just finished reading a FABULOUS book...Lessons from the Fat-o-sphere. I learned so much and may need a second read in the future to help things sink in. The highlights that come to mind are the importance of taking care of yourself, not putting life on hold because you aren't the size you think you should be, and avoiding toxic people/situations.
On the topic of self-care, I have been neglecting myself physically, emotionally and spiritually. This has led to my feeling tired a lot, overwhelmed and my clothes don't fit. I am an 18 now, which is ok, but I have such nice clothes in a 14/16 that I cannot wear. I also have let my exercise pitter off and that is such a necessary release for me. To help myself get back in the groove, I jumped on the treadmill this afternoon and walked a mile. I felt really good afterward and hope that I continue getting in shape.
I am hoping that if I stick with the exercise (again) it will help keep things steady in the weight department but my pattern is that once the scale starts going up, or in recent cases the sizes in clothing, it keeps going until I do some insanely restrictive diet to get the weight down. This is simply not an option anymore.
So...those of you who are pleasantly plump out there and able to maintain a size, how do you do it?!
