Back again.
Haven’t written a post in a while, not much to really say. Things have been stressful and tensions have been building but, that’s nothing new. I’ve been having trouble fully sticking to weight loss n’ fitness but, life get’s in the way of everything.
In any case I definitely didn’t quit by ANY means! Still plugging away and still working at it, weight loss is slow but least it’s steady. Finally begining to see a very tiny bit of difference. At least everyone else who’s seen me has mentioned I look better, so that’s always something.
More over i need to get out of being in an indecisive slump. After having a bad experience in what i had always thought was going to be my "passion for life"… I’m having a way hard time picking a new career path. Art used to be my whole life and then things changed (for various reasons but thats beside the point)… i was completely interested in that whole feild and then over time and through various sircumstances i lost nearly ALL interest in it and want nothing to do with it. (not as a career anyway, maybe i’ll get back to it on my own time someday).
Nothing else really interests me at all and if the thing i loved most didn’t keep my interest, it makes me wonder what chance I have going into something i only will "kind of like" (meaning something i’ll prolly just do "for the money" and just to say "i’m working") Just turned 24, i know it doesn’t seem old, but it is LATE to be just starting down a new path. I don’t want to waste my time in a "dead end job" when i SHOULD be working… towards a real goal. But i have NO clue what i want to get into at all. My interests are all over the board and narrowing it down feels impossible.
Sorry for the rant just giving some background on my lack of fitness oriented efforts. Also should add I am still moving, still dunno when still dunno where, cuz I still can’t get any solid info or answers (like how much we have to spend, where exactly we can go etc.) Just lots of nonsense all around. BUT, doesn’t mean I quit or plan to (not by a long shot!). So that’s pretty much it. I’ll try to keep updating but for now, more time is being spent on other life changing events.

2 things I want to add here. I noticed you were worrying about gaining wait in one of your progress pics. I would not worry too much about it. It is the bodyfat you are fighting not the weight. Most poeple do gain weight in the beginning. It is the added muscle that has upped your weight and in the long term this is a good thing. The muscle will help you lose the bodyfat by increasing your bodies need for calories and by speeding up your metabolism. I know this is hard to accept but trust me in the end it will be a good thing.
The second thing; I do understand your aversion to getting a “job” and not a career. It does happen. I once read that in the last few decades one thing has changed amongst most people; they tend to have more than one career during the lifetimes. Even if you find your “perfect career” you may change your mind in the future. I do believe it is important to find a career that you enjoy doing, but do you believe this enjoyment will always last? I am currently looking at what I want to do in the future. I started with Information technology which has always come easy to me and I do enjoy. Every day I feel the enjoyment slipping. I do not enjoy it as much as I once had and I would prefer a career where I get to help people, one possibly in the medical field. Who knows maybe this will change again and I will start enjoying my current career but I do not believe so. People are living longer and longer and our passions do change. What I am getting at is do not worry too much about the career of your future because this may change in the future. Find something you enjoy doing that helps pay the bills and keep your eyes open to the change. Good Luck!
