Day 9

Thank God I am at least intellectual. I am not athletic. I am not the kind of person who has enough natural self-control to willingly stop myself from eating a whole pan of brownies. I don’t have a naturally fit, lean body. This being a health nut thing: eating super nutritiously and exercising like I enjoy it HURTS. It takes up all of my free time and my body hurts constantly. I know it’s going to get easier and my body will adjust, but I’d be lying to you if I said it was just super duper fun. It will be fun when I start noticing improvement and changes in my body and the way I feel. Right now, I feel grumpy. I know this is because my body is withdrawing from all of the crazy substances I have been feeding it for my entire life and is healing, which is why I am glad that I am at least intellectual. I can see that the mild suffering I am currently going through is going to bring about positive changes. Remember when I was on that crazy, torturous, dating project? Remember how painful all twenty-something of those first dates were? Yet, I had to experience them to get to where I am at and appreciate every moment of my relationship with my super awesome boyfriend. (Yay, for super awesome boyfriends!) If the results of this project turn out to be as amazingly fun as the results of my dating project, I’ll start going to the gym 6 times a week! Okay, not really, but you get the point. I’m following this through by focusing on the parts I do love: the writing and reading and the excuse to stay home on Friday nights to cook (I do love cooking), and I think about how wonderful the results are going to be.
