Your friend, the vegetable

Yes, the inevitable has happened: I've turned into a vegetable.

Yes, I can no longer disguise my sandy root-like appearan
ce. The days of waiting for my one-and-only to return and the anticipation of the upcoming exams, coupled with the fact that TV provides a good distraction, has morphed my being, especially my mind, into a vegetable.

Woohoo! I have spent more time this week on the couch, watchi
ng TV, surfing the Internet, eating protein-less meals and sleeping than I have probably done so in my entire life. This is what I've been reduced to. I officially lack all motivation to: study or, for lack of a better description, live.

How did this happen? Am I depressed? Or am I just lazy? Or am I just procrastinating? I think definitely the first option seasoned with the latter two, like a sort of two-minute noodle depressing supper. Yup.

So, without further ado, I will shortly be getting my act together. I can no longer stand by as my life lives around me and I remain uninvolved. I used to really fun, I used to be crazy, I used to be confident and I used to be fearless. I use to be bouncy. And I miss that, SO....

I will be seeing a psych.
I will be seeing a dietitian.
I will be going back to gym.


I need to stop feeling sorry for myself while others become more awesome - i.e. Micaela - being fearless, Vanessa - moving on up and kicking butt in the process, Janel - starting a career, getting married, and Janice - tu
rning into a freakin' super model. Oh, and yes, everyone growing up while I whimper behind like a sad puppy. Fuck that shit.

That said - you guys better hold me accountable - I've been known to turn and run!

Love,

Your friend,

The vegetable

  2. First of all I'm super proud of you for doing what needs to be done instead of wallowing in it which is very easy to do. It takes courage to stand up and make the change. Secondly I think that you are still all those things you used to be, we all have times when we dont feel 100% ourselves, and then we do what we have to and get right back to it. I KNOW that you can do this. It will be hard and you won't feel like doing it, but don't give in to the vegetable, force yourself. We are always much stronger than we realize, and once you get over the initial unwillingness you'll start feeling better and then it will become a lifestyle. YOU CAN DO IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
