The Angry Dieter
I am suffering so badly from insomnia these days, I know it’s Saturday tomorrow, but I really can’t be bothered with even making an effort to sleep. Instead I’ve been reading posts from my blog for the last 12 months and wondering how I can stay sane at times. It certainly has been a ripper 12 months.
I admit I’ve been neglecting blogging duties, then after a while, it gets harder to post with guilt. It’s just as well I don’t write for anyone but myself as I’m sure many people who’ve come across my blog would have thought I’ve lost interest. However let’s look on it from the other side, I’ve been blogging close to 8 yrs, and generally that means I’ll be posting for much longer.
Since last yr, I’ve had a birthday, moved twice, seen my boyfriend for 2 months, picked up a new housemate that I am still getting used to, and not sure if I should blog about because I am a hard person to live with too. I’ve changed jobs, working for a bigger company, I’ve already earnt a pay rise and a bonus and been taxed the bejesus out of it. I’m now on my second call centre team! Won a gold star for the week, and I have learnt more about managing people and real adults since I changed companies. I have got the love back for my vocation, I hate the need to play politics, feeling lost in a sea of intrigue and cliques.
My weight is seesawing a bit due to the crap hours at work, so I’m on a new program to get that under control and managed. I’m seeing a counsellor and found a book which I’ve read once (need to read again) on Forgiving and Not forgiving. This should start to help me manage my crazy thoughts and get me through I hope the final phase of getting over my X. I guess in a way, it’s back to my trusty blog/diary and reading through how stressed I was last year, and looking at myself now and seeing that I am actually happy.
I put the title up for my blog as The Angry Dieter to laugh at myself. See, how many of us eat when we are angry or upset? I had a thought last week, that instead of eating when I was angry or upset (yes, I do), I should diet instead. So the Swede and I had a joke about what I needed to do about any anger issues I have, and hence, I came up with my new name, The Angry Dieter. I am thinking about re-naming the blog from Lori’s Cubes, to The Angry Dieter, but I don’t want people thinking this would then be a weight loss blog. Hell, it’s been Lori’s Cubes for so long now, it’s like my favourite pair of jeans that only stay together through sheer will power.
I think I’ll rename it to The Angry Dieter and have a laugh at myself. I should really go to the loo soon. it’s been nearly an hour since the housemate went, and she’s been going every hour almost like clockwork since I got home at 11.30pm last night.
