Rang in the New Year overweight, as always, and, as always, Sad. That was the main impetus for Dry January. Well, that, and the fact that, if I shed problems like onion skins, I'd get to the root of Things.
Don't know that that's what's happening, but do know that not drinking alcohol leads to wanting to cut back on caffeine, which leads to a whole bunch of other things.
In one of my stronger, more inspired moments of late, opened a box containing a journal dating back from 2012, where I found myself 20 lbs lighter than I am now ... Fretting about how I needed to lose 10 lbs.
I've always been chunky. I probably always will be. Doesn't mean that I'm not healthy or athletic; just means that I am Bigger than what current aesthetics dictate.
Let's us not worry so much about weight / being thin, and worry more about the body chemistry issues. Cholesterol is fine, but could be better. Blood sugar is fine. Blood pressure is only high when I stress out over going to get it checked.
This is me back in 2009 - same as in 2012, when I was all upset over things. 2018 me *loves* this portrait of me, chunky as I may be.
