I'm Angry

I'm angry and I am going to vent. I am going to rant and rave and pretend I am yelling at the top of my voice. Consider this your warning. Stop reading now if you would rather have a cheery post to read.
If you went to a doctor's appointment, in fact a specialist not just a GP, and that doctor told you to change your lifestyle or you would be dead before you reach 65, wouldn't you immediately take stock and change what you are doing? Especially since you will be turning 60 next year??? Or would you moan and complain that the doctors aren't doing anything for you while you sit on the couch and reach for a beer? I mean for heaven's sake, you haven't got an incurable disease! You have the power to change and be healthy and watch your grandchildren grow up. You need to exercise regularly!!!!!!!!!! You know, get sweaty and get your heart rate up. A brisk walk, a swim, something!!!!!!!!!!!!! Spend some time on the exercise bike while you watch tv. Eat regular healthy meals, say no to a second helping. Simple little changes and you will live longer. HOW HARD IS THAT????????????? WHAT THE HELL IS THERE TO THINK ABOUT??? JUST DO IT!!!!

Oh Uta....someone once told me that anger is the fear of being hurt...and I think that is what is going on...
we can't change anyone..let alone brow beat them into consenting to change...as much as we want to kick their ass
maybe tell this person about your hurt...deep down they are in total fear...and want to deny it all...and whipping at them allows them to take that fear and funnel towards someone you...
I hate to exercise..hate it..but I do it..and you know I found out it wasn't exercise that I hated..I hated walking and treadmills ..I discovered that I love pilates and yoga and weights...and I love to walk for pleasure not to get my heartrate up....maybe this person just needs to find an activity that is to their liking...fishing? boxing? hockey?...anything that gets this person away from boredom...I don't mean actually boxing or hockey playing..activity outside the home...who buys and prepares the food....no extra portions...cook just enough for a good meal....
It is hard...changing
that's why few do it
Here's an idea...if it's your fella
romance him
make him feel desirable again
-don't laugh
men lose themselves and fear aging too..being washed up
that can't move like they used to..their role in life has shifted too....
no hobby or interest developed over the years...boredom
wake him up Uta...
sleep naked and shock the hell out of him heehee! :)

did I say too much?

Thanks ladies, I do feel better. And no Suz, you didn't say to much. You made me giggle. Things are a bit better this morning. He's listening and doing. I think it was just fear. Fear of dying and fear of change. Little steps.

For a moment there I could have sworn you were yelling at me on the wrong blog! And I'm glad Suz wasn't silent here...she said it all and well. Fear can act like a great weight. Glad to hear things are improving though.

WELL, I hit a hormonal rage this morning but I'll just act pretty. I've watched many family members slowly kill themselves and many more justify their poor habits while riling up about things that really won't matter after they're dead. I've tried but have to throw in the towel. Just have to take care of my own health. And... hopefully I don't get hit by a bus.
