We all have it, we would be saints if we didn't. Some do a good job of hiding the stresses they hall around with them from day to day, and others have a bit more difficulty.
When I first started my relationship with Bryan I thought I was doing just that, keeping it all tucked away in the privacy of my own mind. All seemed good until about a year and a bit in to things.
It was at that point that I started to push him away, and expect him to come back. As you can imagine it grew very tiresome for the both of us. After a few months of the roller coaster ride from hell things ironed themselves out and we went on with our life together.
Thats not to say we don't still banter or argue or want to rip each other apart from time to time, but it's that friendly couples banter that keeps us strong. We might comunicate in a unconventional way, but we comunicate and that is the most important ingredient for keeping a relationship alive and healthy.
While we are on the topic of alive and healthy I'll get to the secondary point of this entry. Weight loss. Yeah, it's not fun, and it's most certainly another type of Baggage. It to can be quite heavy to drag around.
About a year ago I started to notice I didn't fit in to things any more. I ignored it for a while as most people do, but then one day I was nearing a weight number I had set for myself a while ago. I had told myself if I got to that point, I would do something about it. I was 3 pounds away from that number when I decided to join Herbal Magic.
It's a rather expensive but surprisingly efficient weight loss program. It's more of a life style change combined with supplements to aide in the weight loss. It's been easy, and hard. Food is good, it's that symple. I like pasta and cookies and sugar and all that stuff I shouldn't eat all the time. I find with the sun out so often these days it's even more difficult, but what can you do?
I started in December and I've lost 18 pounds. I was down lower but in the past two weeks I've gained 5 pounds again. It's a work in progress but it's definitely a good goal to work towards. I hope to be down to my goal weight at some point in the next year, but only time will hold the answers to that one.
Regardless of what your Bagage may be, the point of this entry is to let you know you don't have to hold it all on your own. The people that love you will be more then happy to take some of the load. Sometimes though, sharing the weight can be harder then it is to hold it all on your shoulders.
