Assessing the damage.

Now it's resolution time again- time to look back on what I've done and put a cap on the damage. I've done a lot of stupid things, but nothing that can't be undone, I hope. This is where I currently stand:

- I have $1.25 in my bank account... Pretty sucky for someone with a fulltime job. Down from $1500 two weeks ago, but that's okay; I get paid next week, and I won't be so stupid this time around.

- Probably gained a kilo or two over the past week too. But once again, I am still lighter than I was five or six weeks ago, and two kilos is easy enough to undo. It's probably mostly just water anyway... or so I can hope.

- Also, the doctor thinks I might have pre-diabetes and gluten intolerance from all the starving followed by massive sugar consumption. Once again, it's not as bad as it could be. I'll just be more sensible from now on. This one I can get help with (my boyfriend thinks I can't have sugar anyway, so I never eat it around him).

- House is a wreck because I haven't cleaned in ages. It's just atrocious- a severe case of neglect. That will be unpleasant to clean up, and though I said I'd do it two days ago, I suppose late is better than never. I can do that today.

- I've been distant from everyone for a couple of days now, including my boyfriend. I've been feigning tiredness for most of this week to avoid company. And yet, it has been worse before, so this is still not as bad as it could be. I can get back in touch with my sister, too...

So I suppose I got off lucky this time; the damage overall is fairly light. If I work hard enough, I could bounce back from this in a couple of weeks. It's only a minor setback. Now, I'm off to have a shower (at 2pm) and clean this mess before my boyfriend gets home. The change starts today.
