Monday Mailbag 18

by

I took last week off to ‘regather’ my forces and get going again. Now I’m back and ready for action this week, which means Monday Mailbag is back too! I hope you’ll join in and play along.

You know how it works – MM is my tribute to my love of receiving mail (or is it just my loathing of an empty mailbox?).

Every Monday I will post my question for you to answer on your blog. You then come back here and leave a link to where you’ve posted your answer so we can all get to know each other.
Easy peasy. Wanna play?

This week’s question:

When it comes to me losing weight, it’s more of a matter than ‘just cutting down the calories’. More often than not, people getting fit have to deal with mental, physical and/or emotional issues that are tied up in food, eating, self-image, etc. So often there is just plain more to it.

I have personally come through quite a few mental and emotional hangups about food. Beyond that, there have been physical hereditary issues to deal with as well.

I’m wondering…

Besides getting fit, what other mental, physical and/or emotional issues (that you care to talk about) are you dealing with beyond the straight ‘losing weight’?

Remember to leave a link to your answer in the comments!

(If you have any question suggestions for MM, I’d be happy to hear them! I don’t promise to use all suggestions, but I do promise to read them. Thanks!)
