Every Rose Has Its Thorn

Do you know how exhausting it is to write the same thing over and over again?  One post is full of motivation and optimism.  The next is bleak despair.

I'm sick of being fat and I'm scared of getting older while being fat.  But I just can't figure out how to be consistent with my behavior.  I'm disciplined in other aspects of my life, but when it comes to controlling my own damn body, I'm a failure.  

I'm trying to be more grateful.  Things aren't so bad, you know? I have a roof over my head and (too much) food in my belly and if I got fired toady, I'd still be able to pay the mortgage and the power bill for a couple of months without too much trouble.  But my biggest dissatisfaction in life is my own physical being. It's so depressing.

Speaking of depressing, a nurse friend recommended I go on an antidepressant. She says it'll help with my weight.  Do i really want to do that though?  I don't think I feel depressed, but maybe I really am?

Anyway, I have labs drawn on Halloween then a doctor's appointment a week later.  I may or may not talk to the doctor about antidepressants then.  We'll see...
