Letting go

It’s been a while since I’ve fed this place however unlike countless others before me, I’m not going to make any promise on future notes. That said, I’m embarking on a interesting journey and I decided to use this place to talk about it from time to time. I want to give it some sort of public scrutiny and officialization at the same time, probably because I’m halfway between masochistic and egotistic. Here’s the big news: I’ve decided to let go of anything that has to do with my health.

OK, before anyone gets the Moralizator™ going, let me rephrase. I’ve decided to let go of anything that has to do with my health and let my better half be in control. Yup ! She’s going to be in charge of my diet, medical exams and exercise program from now on. I’m fully and wholeheartedly putting my health into her hands. And she’d better succeed, let me tell you !

Those who know me a bit will tell you two things. I’m seriously overweight and I like to be in control. The one thing I’ve come to realize is that unless many other things in my life, I’ve can’t solve #1 by making use of #2. I’ve tried. It does not work. At least not for me. So I have no choice: since being in control is the only thing of the 2 that I still control, what I need to do at this point is ... relinquish the control. Get my point?

I don’t really want to think about what’s it’s going to be like. I’m sure some of it will be uplifting, some of it depressing, some easy, some tough. Nothing really different than anything else in life. One thing I know for sure though, is that it’s going to be different from anything I’ve done before. So as I’m going to learn to let go and trust a good chunk of my life in her hands, if you happen to know her, wish her luck !
