I already have my gorgeous "dark-haired man', so I think I'm set for the new year.
I had the opportunity to go with my BF to a fabulous New Year's Eve soiree at a high-end resort hotel in our neighborhood (including dinner buffet, h'or deurves, free champagne, a live band and dancing, breakfast buffet, and overnight stay at the hotel) with my sister, her bf and her friends, but at the last minute, I decided not to go.
The reason why I'm not going to the hotel's gala event is because my doctor has put me on a strict diet (including no alcohol) and I don't want to be tempted with all the delicious gourmet food and free champagne that'll be available at the party. Unfortunately, I have a lot of health problems that I want to get resolved FOR GOOD within the new year. I'm not diabetic yet but I have PCOS and insulin resistance, along with chronic fatigue syndrome, hypothyroidism, adrenal problems, and chronic yeast infections. I've also gained a lot of weight within the past two years because of these health problems. I've always been a petite size 4 or 6 for most of my life and now I am a huge buffalo...I barely recognize myself in the mirror anymore.
I really want 2010 to be the year where I will regain my health, my figure, and most importantly my quality of life! So if I have to sacrifice going to a party or two to obtain that objective, then it will well be worth it! Fortunately, my BF is staying home with me Thursday night to support my health and weight loss goals. He's been great and very supportive of me throughout these struggles I've had...he still loves me despite my weight gain and lack of energy, so I guess I'm lucky in that regard.
Sorry to all of you for rambling on and on....I felt the need to vent about this. I also feel a little sad that I won't be able to celebrate the new year in style like my sister and her friends. I sure hope all of this sacrifice will be worth it in the end.
