What’s the most important thing you’re putting off?

What’s the most important thing you’re putting off? And why haven’t you done it yet? What do you need to make it happen?

I’m putting off too many important things. But, at the moment, the most important thing I’ve been putting off is going to the doctor. I haven’t been for over three years (I never get sick enough to HAVE to go, thank goodness). I know, I know, I need to go. But I don’t want to go because I don’t want to be chastised about my weight. I keep telling myself that I’ll eat REALLY well and exercise for a few months, just to at least be able to tell the doctor that I’m back on track. But, somehow, I am not managing to get myself back on track.

What I need to do about it is make an appointment for three months from now. With that hanging over my head, maybe I will have enough additional motivation to not only get back on track but also get my self into a routine of going to the doctor on a regular basis.

      I am in that same boat with you. The last time I went to the gynocologist I was humiliated. She walks into the room and I swear she gasped. Asked me how long I have been this weight (ummm…all of my adult life – including 2 pregnancies) and that I most certainly must be diabetic. And have high blood pressure. Which I have neither. Not even borderline. But she made me feel horrid. And it’s been a little over three years. I keep asking people if they know someone good – someone they like – who might treat me like a human – and not one person has someone to suggest. It’s really frustrating. So, like you, I keep thinking I will do what it takes to get back on track before I go back to be humiliated again…
