Limbo

The other day, I was having a conversation with my friend Kristin about getting myself back into shape and into the gym. I was saying that, albeit it being rainy and sooo not summer weather yet, it soon would be. When that time came around, I wouldn't feel comfortable getting into a bathing suit like I have the past years. [I've put on about 10-12 lbs in the last year and half!] I was going on and on about it, and she looked and me like I was crazy and said

"But you're not fat!"

Which is true. I'm not fat.

The trouble with that is that it's very to lose inspiration to keep with it, because you think "I can eat just this one cookie -- it's not like I'm fat," but really, the truth is that I'm not comfortable with my body, so mentally that should put me in the same category as people that ARE overweight.

Instead, it's just lingers in this certain sort of 'limbo' of the dieting world. How frustrating is THAT!
