Diet, Exercise, etc.

[hsapiens]

I'm going to start using my LJ in a new-to-me way: as an exercise & diet diary. I plan on recording my thoughts, struggles, victories, defeats, books I've read, etc. about food & eating, exercising, and my battle to get fit. And then STAY fit.

This has nothing to do with the usual content of my LJ and I suspect it will contain little interesting content so my current plan is to take it all private. However, others on my f-list may be cutting a similar path and find that having a place to talk about it might be useful.

If you suspect you might want to read, think about, or discuss these sorts of issues, please comment here. If there's interest, rather than making my entries private I'll f-lock them and make a special filter for those who want to wade through it all.

This is going to be mostly navel-gazing, so consider yourself fairly warned.

I have yo-yo'd my entire life. On exercise plans, off them. On "new eating choices." Off them. Losing pounds. Gaining them back, plus interest.

All this to say that I would find it inspirational.

Done. That lose/gain cycle is MURDER, both emotionally and physically. I boxed myself in on the exercise plan because I know me. I need to have the guilt of someone waiting for me to keep me moving forward. I try not to think what it means that I'll do it for someone else I don't even really know but not for myself because it's good for me. Whatever. I'm working on the mental, too, but for now I'm using my politeness weakness against my inertia. :)

I hope it's inspirational. I hope that we can help each other.
