59

If you do not tell the truth about yourself
you cannot tell it about other people. 
-Virginia Woolf 

The month of November was supposed to be the beginning of the next 100 days project.  I have postponed it until next year. The holidays are the worst time of year to change a lifestyle.  There is so much to do and so much to plan. There is also the feels; emotions runs high, overwhelm people in good and bad ways.   I wanted to be on a better life schedule before the holidays.  It got snagged by the little things and they became bigger things.   I decided it will be better for my wellbeing to be honest about what I want to accomplish with the 100 days project. 

First I want to live heathier and lose weight.  According to information on many health websites and magazines. I am dangerously obese.   I am under 5 feet in height and over 200lbs in weight.  I borderline on hypertension and diabetes.  I have to handle the situation now before it gets worse.  Losing weight is a good start but it is my whole lifestyle that is causing the problem. I hate having to mention all of this on an essay.  Other people have bared all and worst on the internet but I am not that kind of person and I never wanted to be.   I want my online life and real life to work together.  I don’t believe that everything has to be online. Some things need to be forgotten or only remembered by a few.
My life is complicated and unhealthy it is not good for me to continue this way.  I know this and everyone is telling me this.  It can trigger a certain kind of bad habit on my part, I get belligerent.  No has to tell me what is wrong with me when I know and live with it every day. 

Second I am a writer.  I want to complete works of fiction, sell them and live comfortably.  I have always told myself stories.  I decided to be a writer over 25 years ago. I didn’t pursue it because I was often told.  Have something to fall back on.  I was so busy with my day job that I almost lost my way to creativity.  Two years ago, after reading and listening to some great and some really bad works of fiction. I decided to do what I have always wanted to. I want to write and sell fiction. I want to entertain and inspire others to do great things.  I want to be recognized by the world as a writer.  I have gotten positive feedback from some of my work being made public.  So I will do my best to make my brand. 

Third my environment is always in disarray.  It is basically a downer.  I know that the only way it can change is if I change it.  After dealing with familial things I don’t have the energy to make my environment efficient.  I don’t have the motivation to do what has to be done.  It is a super lame excuse but there it is.  That is one of my many ugly truths. 



Last I want to be comfortable in the life that I am living.  I don’t want regrets and I don’t want to feel like all I am doing is existing.  I need 30 days to be make myself glad to be up in the day; another 30 days to follow an exercise regimen; another 30 days to make my environment efficient and 10 days to make a schedule and stick to.  No pressure.
