[QUOTE="Copabanana, post: 688910, member: 18958"] Hi KT. Glad you are here. I love a dinner like yours tonight. I admire your commitment. I do too but one, I am just getting [I]any[/I] control over myself and life--by that I mean, making myself do the basics. And while the basics should be taking care of health...I am once again putting work ahead. Because it was the work (my attitude toward it and self-care) that got me this fat to begin with. Before I went back to work the last time I weighed 50 pounds less than I do today. I just seem unable to walk and chew gum at the same time. As it should be, if one thinks about it. Food, preparing it, growing it was our full-time job until very recently in human history, was it not? It is just now that you are able restoring proper balance. I am thinking now of the slow food movement. I got interested about 8 years ago, and never committed myself to it. Somehow with this stint of working I have to hang onto myself. Working in prisons is really toxic to me. I love parts of it, but I seem unable to be healthy in relation to it. I have gotten myself into a mess with money, and see myself working until the missing money is restored. M is shaking his head. I think he feels ambivalent about this choice for me. He says, he worries if I can do it. I think it is more, he worries if I should. I am glad I have you guys so that I can verbalize this stuff, so that even I have to pay attention. For now I will go ahead. I have made a verbal commitment of 6 months, or at least said I saw no obstacles to completing 6 months, but nobody knows the future. So that is not really a commitment. It was an intention with an out. But if I could do the 6 months it would put me in a stronger position, money wise and I think emotionally as well. I will see that I am back and I can do it. I can decide from a position of strength to do something else. The groundwork has already been laid. Thank you for "listening" to me. All of you (and those who are missed) sleep tight and a good and safe day tomorrow. [/QUOTE]
