70 Days of Sweat-in' with Sven, round 3, starts today... Question? Am I ready? Am I committed? Answer: Yes! I'm finishing this damn book if it kills me. And, it just might. I will be on a diet at the same time. I will probably be a real bitch that my kids will want dead before Mother's Day, around the time this thing ends.
I am fully prepared to be crucified by no less than two doctors in the next three weeks about the poundage I've gained since April. I have never weighed this much in my life - not pregnant that is. I can hear it all now...blah, blah, blah. Well, they haven't lived my life since April. I really wish I was one of those people that lost weight under stress. But, NO. I'm an emotional eater and I know it. Tell me I can stop doing it and I just want to eat more. I think I told a doctor once it was to either chew on something or chew on someone. Sad, huh? But really true for me.
I'm ready for the rebirth of me. I know it will be hard and painful. I'm resigned. But, I also know that to become the me I want to be I have two goals to achieve. Both involve me taking control of my life and dreams. Now, to be a skinny twig isn't my dream. My dream is to finish my book and submit it to a publisher, for better or worse. The weight loss and finishing my book are about taking back control of my life, health, and the reality of making a dream come true.
So, bring on the sweat and, ultimately, the rewards!
