Vita Sana & Laid Off

So, I got laid off this Thursday. It was rough, I'm not going to lie. At first I was really positive about it but that only lasted for so long and yesterday the stress of job searches settled in. In a time of stress it is extremely easy to fall back into the crazy eating habits a person might have. I know that I have a little signal that goes off in my mind that says .. "You're going through a hard time, you deserved a meal, whatever you want." However, I am determined to make this time around be the LAST TIME AROUND. I'm not going to baby my inner insecure and doubtful self by taking care of myself in a way that really wont be healthy at all. Yes, eating whatever I want will make me really happy .. in the moment .. but when that moment fades what will I have? I'll be left with guilt, pitty, more pounds, more distance from the things that I want, poor self image. The negatives outweigh the positive.

A good thing that has come out of being laid off is that I have more time to work out. What a better time to focus on excercise!! What excuse could I possible give?? I'm excited .. I think this is finally my chance to make this a priority. Yes, things are stressful, things are tough, but my being laid off is a blessing in disguise and I am positive of that. Something better will come my way and now I can focus on school and my health.

Wish me luck.
