If you're like me and you hear the same lines over and over again, like 'Take a step, however small, in the direction of your dreams.' Or something cheesy like that. And it makes you vomit a bit in your mouth, you are my people.
BUT I do roll my eyes, because it is true.
I put up my first dog-walking poster yesterday. And is my inbox flooded with requests? Nope. BUT, I did it. I may not get anyone and that could largely be due to clientele, this area doesn't seem to give two shits about their pets. I mean they hardly clean up after their dogs when this apartment complex provides bag and easy disposal. So, spending $10/day to take their dog out for relief over lunch might be a big leap and $15 or $20 for a longer walk an even bigger leap. Trial and error, live and learn.
I'm going home this weekend, it will be nearly a year since I have been back to the family farmstead. I have been feeling so alone and isolated that it seems like a good idea to go back to what I know and reconnect with the fam jam and maybe some of my childhood friends.
I am also sick of feeling like I can't eat anything or I have to eat certain things at certain times to be able to look a certain way. And it's REALLY hard taking advice from people who haven't been overweight. I mean I get that they've had health issues and what not, but it's very challenging to hear these people make suggestions when they haven't actually been in that spot, yanno?
