Scott's Diabetes

Helping you see your strength

Stuck, Stuck, Stuck. Suck, Suck, Suck!

October 7, 2009 By Scott K. Johnson 23 Comments

I need to get something off my chest.

I am in the worst shape of my life.

With major changes in my life routine since my work with Cozmo stopped, I haven’t kept up on my exercise at all.  In fact, without much of a routine, everything is all screwy.  I am getting depressed (not good right before winter!), I am gaining weight, my blood sugars are crazy.

I’m in a bad spot, and that makes me feel blue.  Feeling blue makes me eat more.  Eating more makes me feel worse.  Which makes me eat more.  What the hell!?

If I know that I am in a destructive cycle, and I recognize how shitty it makes me feel, why is it so hard to snap out of?

I feel so overwhelmed by the big picture.  I am completely paralyzed by the daunting mission of turning myself around.  I am afraid that I don’t have the energy I need to push the boulder up the hill.

(One of ) The answer(s) is simple. Walking.

If I know the answer, or at least some way to start working on the big problem, why don’t I just go do it?  It is frustrating and depressing to feel so stuck.

Someone please slap me out of it!  Or get a cattle prod…
