One of the major contentions in my marriage was my weight and my body image. I don't really want to get much into that, other than to say my weight ballooned. Recently, I was able to set up and start using my Wii Fit again, something I have not used since a month or so before I moved out of my house. After a great workout yesterday, I realized something. In 7 or 8 months, I have lost around FIFTY pounds. I have not been working out much more than the walks to and from the train station and the random workout on the Wii Fit. My eating habits might be a bit more healthy, but I do have the snack binges when I have a stressful day. None of my work pants fit, in fact I can pull them off with out unbuttoning or unzipping them. My BMI is now listed as "normal". I was in shock! I looked back on how that could have possibly happened and I realized, it has to be a result of less stress. Yes, I am still stressed, but I am not spending every day fighting with someone and fretting over if I am going to end my marriage or not. Yes, I still have rough days. I still am trying to figure out where my life is heading. But overall, the last several months have been so much less stressful and overall, I have been happy or at least happier.
I am not sure where those fifty pounds were located. I am not sure how I lost them. I really do not care about my BMI or what a scale says, I am more concerned about how I feel. Sure, I'd like to be more toned. But really, I would rather just keep working on being less stressed, more happy. I think this is a testament to the fact that I am getting there.
