synecdoche Posted June 13, 2013 Report Share Posted June 13, 2013 Guys, I need help. I first posted here a few months ago. I was full of optimism and hope that I was about to get a good running start on getting my body healthy again before my first child arrives in August. I hit a pretty serious detour, though--I heard the dreaded c-word from my doctor. The good news is that what I had was very treatable, it was caught very early, and I had fantastic doctors. I needed some surgery but so far (knock on wood) nothing for. Right now, I'm clear. They're keeping a close watch on me, but for the most part, I'm healthy. The down side is I let myself use illness as an excuse to avoid exercise and eating right. I let myself wallow a bit, I guess. I realize how this is completely stupid. I've been very lucky and now I'm squandering a second chance. I want to do things right now. I still want to be in better shape by the time the baby gets here, even if it won't be the shape I hoped I had hoped to be in. So far I'm having a terrible time. I'm eating an unnecessary amount of food. At home I'm okay--I'll have a good breakfast and dinner, and otherwise I'm okay. At work, not so much: I'll bring leftovers for lunch, then go for a walk (which is good!) but stop off and get more food on the way--chips, maybe even a sandwich (which is bad!). I've done virtually nothing physical, unless you count mowing the lawn once a week. I need help. So I am hoping that some people here will be willing to motivate me, and help me steer right. Thanks in advance. Synecdoche's Call to Adventure Link to comment
Barfly Posted June 14, 2013 Report Share Posted June 14, 2013 Hi Synecdoche, Welcome, or welcome back I guess :-/ I'm new here, too. I don't have any first hand experience with the big-c, so you'll have to take what I say with a grain of salt (hmm, another synecdoche? no, I guess not), but I can't help but think that'd be a real motivator to get stronger/healthier and eating right. And, as you might know, exercise is a great mood elevator. Let me know what kind of help you'd like; I'm a bit of an underpants gnome, but I have collected a few protocols that work well (for me, at least). Barfly The past is only smoke in a dream.
