Trying to keep the stress down, and the eating in it's place

Feb 08, 2009

The last think I want to do is have my success sabotaged by my own stress and life's problems that are out of my control.  My job at the bank is not necessarily 'secure' and so I find myself thinking about it constantly.  I know that in this economy we have a lot of the same worries, but no matter who you are, it makes you question your choices and the reasons you find yourself in the financial situation are in.  I think about how we could have done things differently, but can honestly say, I don't have too many regrets.  We think about our choices often, and pray about them when we can.
I hope that we can make it through 2009 without too much drama and with our house! LOL.  I say that jokingly, but in the back of my mind, you know the fear is real.
Anyway, my weighloss has slowed down a great deal, but I'm not discouraged.... as a matter of fact, it helps me better understand what I need to do everyday.
I know that some people are against weighing in daily, but for me, it is what keeps my mind straight and keeps me focused.  I don't get crazy obsessed, I just know that "today, this is what I have to do".

I'm still so very happy about my decision, and I would do it again in a heartbeat.  It hasn't been quite six months, but it feels like it has only been a minute, and it has been a wonderful minute... despite all of the whining you read about it the beginning!  LOL.  Don't let that discourage you.  The first five weeks are crazy, but that is to be expected.  I just looked at it like, beginning a NEW life.  It is just a big adventure.  Try and enjoy what you can

Now, true to my personality, I had to come up with a plan B in case my bank job feel through.  I have been working my butt off to start my own photography business.  I'm so excited and very motivated.  It's costing a great deal initially, but I've promised myself I will get busy and start making it pay for itself.  David came up with the name: Shutterbunny Photography.   It is a lot of work, but it is fun and that is the goal, right?  "Find something you love and never work a day in your life."  I'll keep you posted on how it goes!!!!
