Hungry!

OK - I get WAY cranky when I don't eat. I'm trying SO SO SO hard to cut back so that I can make a real effort in trying to get my weight down. I don't feel compelled to be uber-skinny, I just never will be that way. But there is really no excuse for me to pack it on. I need to get back down to where I was when I started law school. Just so that I can feel strong again. The biggest hurdle for me is getting to the gym. I can eat like a health-nut. I actually enjoy it (gasp!). But my life is so FULL that sometimes I get pushed to the side & I seriously neglect me. I just don't want to succumb to the compulsion to starve again like I did a couple years ago. I would like to keep my hair, thank you very much!

On the bright side, I'm not about to perish from measles - I just have winter skin. My doctor has lectured me to stop wearing wool until my skin is better, use LOTS of Aveno (maybe I should buy stock!) and - get this - to try not to sweat until my skin is better. WEIRD. Yes. But it makes sense - your pores open wide when you sweat, so if they're already irritated, then - well - they may get MORE irritated. But it was so FUNNY - I asked him if he was giving me carte blanche to not work out. He thought THAT was funny.
