Doctors, friends, family, etc can speak at you til they are blue in the face but it has to come from the heart of the person who needs to change. As a recovering addict I know that all too well.

Day 1 down... the rest of my life to go.

You take great photos and when we talked about it at DPCon you spoke with such passion about you love for it.<br /><br /><br />How hard is it to eat well and exercise? I envy those who do it by nature. Getting started is so hard. To me I think giving up alcohol was easier!<br /><br /><br />V.babblingbandit.mehttp://babblingbandit.me/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7958829718723459845.post-35653354806978423512013-07-15T20:49:02.491+10:002013-07-15T20:49:02.491+10:00I know that feeling regarding temp jobs!

Had a terrible mental health day yesterday and it doesn't have blunt my confidence. BUT you are so right about the three things and I can proudly say that I've got the food going well. These days I genuinely want and prefer to eat healthily - mainly... not saying I never eat choccie cos I do and love it, but it's dark choc and good for me! <br /><br /><br />I love making the coconut/nut balls or fudge that Sarah W has in her books and I've adapted. The dates make them sweet and they are totally yummy and zinging with nutrition. Slurp.<br /><br /><br />Exercise, that doc of yours is so right... and having read that I'll get on my exercise gear and make myself get on that treadmill whether I like it or not. <br /><br /><br />Friends - yes, vital and quite hard to organise to see them... I'm in sole parenting mode at the moment, but school is back tomorrow so there's much more chance.

I hope that you do start with these changes, because I know that they will feel so good for you.<br />I am enjoying a good exercise routine at the moment (I'm becoming a Crossfit Junkie!) and eating pretty-OK. I don't think that I could ever quit sugar, but I have taken big steps towards cutting it down throughout the working week, and then letting go a bit on weekends only.<br />Wishing you all the best.Katyberrynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7958829718723459845.post-26745680517387276332013-07-09T14:05:52.323+10:002013-07-09T14:05:52.323+10:00Congrats on making the finals of the comp.

I've vowed to make a real effort to continue to eat well once this bubs has arrived and get out of the house and walking at least once a week (small steps) to help with my mood (and also losing some of the baby weight!).<br /><br /><br />I love that Woody Allen quote too, its so true! I feel like with this second baby its time to make some changes in my life, and part of that is to take control of the work situation and do something that I want to do. I am hoping that next year I will be able to study photography and figure out some way to make a living doing that, and in the meantime look for ways that I may be able to make a bit of money from my blog to help fund my educations (and also get the off haircut!).Kylie Purtellhttp://www.kyliepurtell.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7958829718723459845.post-50659942915630641412013-07-08T21:14:42.948+10:002013-07-08T21:14:42.948+10:00Not yet, but I am looking forward to the end of a ...Not yet, but I am looking forward to the end of a rather arduous long-term temp role and taking a bit of time to review and reinvent.
