I am struggling. My energy level is nonexistent; I am completely dependent on caffeinated soft drinks to function. I am an emotional wreck and periodically lose my cool with my family. Getting dressed is the worst part of everyday: I hate trying to hide my body, and I hate looking at myself in the mirror. I feel as if I've aged 20 years overnight when I ought to be in my prime. The last straw was when my husband tried to look at me getting out of the shower and I wouldn't let him because I feel so terrible about myself.
I need to make a change. I need to make a commitment to love myself. I need to make a commitment to care enough for myself to give others a reason to care for me. I need to take the time out of my day to make my health a priority, because if I don't, no one else will.
Today I took the first step: I purchased a gym membership.
I will not be one of the millions of people who start on a health kick only to fizzle out after a few weeks. I will persevere. I will make myself accountable to cyberspace and anyone who would like to join me on my quest.
Affectionately,
Jane
