Integrity to myself
I'm true to my friends, family and coworkers. If I say I will do something for someone else, I get it done. Knowing this, it's so difficult for me to understand why I'm not true to myself? Why it's okay to let myself down. Obviously its not okay, I beat myself up about it. But I'm going to work on not doing this any longer.
Last September things started getting really busy at work and I told myself that I was too busy to go to the gym. Oct-Nov-Dec, way too busy. Jan extremely busy, Feb way worse. March, catching up on all the things neglected from the previous months, except for going to the gym and eating right. April my friend started on her weight loss journey. She struggled all the while I was loosing weight last May, now she is on fire, lost 40lbs since April, I've gained about 20lbs back....
I want to conquer all my craziness, all my emotional eating, all the lies I tell myself and the excuses I make. I must start putting myself before my work, if not, I will be miserable once again.
I'm going to leave work on time for the next week and go to the gym. I'm going to commit to it and make it happen.
No more denying myself.

Oh man, does this sound familiar. I do exactly the same thing. I support you and applaud you in your efforts to put yourself first. Really, if we don't then we can't be there for our family, friends and job.

I could have written this post. We have to commit to ourselves. At least that is what I have found works for me. Even it I don't want to I plan meals. Even when I don't want to I do an exercise DVD. Easy? Hell no, but we have to commit if we are to succeed.

I completely understand how you feel. You have periods in your life where you feel like there is hardly room to breathe to stay alive, let alone exercising and eating right. You have recognized it and that's a great start.
One way to look at may be that this is your life, your health, your body and your mental state. You owe yourself the best and you deserve it. Yes, this is about you. You know what to do since you already lost last year. You'll get back to where you were - one day at a time!

I love the way you put this, that you are true to everyone but yourself. I think we often need to treat ourselves like our own friend, then we would be nicer to ourselves. Good luck getting to the gym, you can do it!
