Ever since I got divorced and lost about 10 pounds I have had absolutely no problems with my weight. Although, the divorce was painful, I was so thrilled to have lost the weight that I had no desire to eat and I kept the weight off for many years. I also started swimming about 15 years ago and no doubt that has helped.
Unfortunately, I’m not swimming as often as I use to and lately I’ve been snacking a lot more. I have been so use to not worrying about my weight that I have just gotten careless. Anyway, in the last couple weeks my clothes have felt a little tighter. And a few days ago, I even decided I should stop nibbling so much. But it’s become a bad habit that’s hard to break.
However, tonight I invited my daughter, son-in-law and grandsons for dinner and when we finished dinner, I felt terribly uncomfortable because I had eaten too much. I am really angry with myself and want to lose the five pounds I’ve gained. But frankly, I’m worried. I had been a little plump growing up and I remember the difficulty of constantly trying to diet with little success.
Unfortunately, since I retired I seem to have far less discipline than I use to. I do things I shouldn’t do and don’t do the things I should -- like wasting time on my computer and staying up too late. I’m not happy with myself, but I’m not motivated to do anything about it. Maybe this weight gain is a wake-up call. I can only hope so. And maybe I can correct the bad habits I have developed.
