Veggies may taste good but you can't be one especially if you're human!

When I get off from work, I often just want to go home get Pj's on and just veg.

I realize more and more that I can't be a vegetable.



I know anybody that knows me , knows that when you ask how I am I usually say tired but good. I feel like I am always tired. I work,go to school and go to church and I do homework that's not necessarily a very fun life you have to have fun. I know it may seem goofy but I feel like I am not the only one out there that avoids human contact when they are tired. I am not a social butterfly , I know that. I know I need people. I need friends. I want friends. I was the happiest I had been in a long time on Thursday night. I want to a Relief Society Presidency / Dinner and we talked about the things we need to discussed but we also laughed and had some girl talk and it was so much fun. I came home feeling so happy because I seriously felt joy in my heart . It may sound corny but I did. I knew that despite how tired I am or otherwise not feeling up to it , I need to make an effort to go out and have fun and also to have adult conversations and to laugh. All work and no play makes for me being depressed I have realized and it helpse so much to have people around. Of course there will be moments to be alone but ... I know there is also a need to have fun. So Goals this coming week:

- One Church Activity this week in the evening.
-Read at least one verse of scripture
- go to gym three times
- work on journal


Balance is something I struggle with so if anyone has any ideas ... leave a comment.

A Fast

This morning I am fasting because one it's fasting and testimony sunday but second the purpose and reason for my fast is to gain better control of my eatting habits. Stress causes me to eat! I am stressed alot. I have realized that one of

the root problems is that I struggle to cope with stress in a healthy way. I have also learned from others who struggle with this probelm that it takes time to heal and adjust and work on. I also know that for my health I need to not eat my stress away because I am causing more stress by doing so. In our society, we celebrate, mourn,comfort with food. I want to find healthier alternatives. Some things I can do instead of eatting when I am stressed is : Cleaning, Exercise (Walk the Dog, Go to the Gym), Write (poetry or journal or free write), Read ( scriptures (#1), Book), Talk to a friend. I know this won't be an easy battle but I know through my Savior , Jesus Christ I can overcome. He died for us all and has already taken away those things and now all we need to do is release them (weaknesses, struggles) to him.
