Starting a New Habit

I'm terrible at commitment, I'll just come right out and say it. I have never been able to keep up with a blog before, and all of my diaries from my childhood are barely even half full. This lack of will power of course leaks over into other areas of my life, and my health and lifestyle are suffering for it. This year I was diagnosed with hypothyroidism, which explains a lot of what I have been going through the past couple of years (depression, rapid weight gain, chronic fatigue and illness), and although I am now taking the necessary hormone replacement, I know that I need to take more steps to improve my life.

I was told that getting a blog and writing out my feelings will help me cope with this lifestyle change, and I am hoping it will help deal with the depression that has been crippling me since I graduated high school. (I do not take medication for depression because I don't want to become a zombie.... Everyone I know who is on antidepressants seem to change in a bad way.)

I've begun to exercise regularly (hooping!) and have gotten some of my energy back, but my eating habits are awful. I work at Subway, so I am eating that three times a day (that Jared diet is a load of crap), and on my days off I usually eat Captain D's or Dominos because I live alone and any food I cook goes to waste. I actually love cooking, it just isn't convenient for me right now. I need to retrain myself and start eating healthy again!

I'm going to force myself to keep up this blog, even if I don't have much to say most days. I need to find some release. Maybe it is on here.....
