It\u2019s just my notes after reading the post I\u2019m writing about. I still have a crick in my neck. It was getting so much better then I re-irritated it, so I really need to watch my range of motion. But I still wanted to write and analyze. Here goes\u2026<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2<sup>nd<\/sup> sentence in the first paragraph the word \u201cit\u201d when I say, \u201c it\u2019s harder to come off as you get older,\u201d may be a little ambiguous. Like perhaps I could have written \u201cthe weight is harder to come off when you get older.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The same when I say, \u201conce I eat regular again,\u201d I could have said something like, \u201cas soon as I return to eating a normal diet.\u201d Or for more clarity I could have said something like, \u201cas soon as I abandon the calorie deficit diet.\u201d I guess how I have it works, but I think one of these works better.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>3<sup>rd<\/sup> paragraph in the sentence<strong>: <\/strong>But this has been a forever struggle for me, and ever since I breach the 200s, I haven\u2019t been able to get back out, except for one time over 20 years ago when I was a senior in college.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I put breached instead of \u201cbreach the 200s.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In the 4<sup>th<\/sup> paragraph I didn\u2019t capitalize the word \u201cNinja\u201d when I think I should have since it\u2019s the proper name of the blender I was referencing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Things I noticed about myself<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I think I was a little to hard on myself. I sensed some disappointment that I gained the weight. I think I made it out to be a bigger deal than it actually is. So I gained weight while on vacation, big deal, I can lose it. That\u2019s the approach I should be taking in those situations rather than bemoaning what happens naturally in those situations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>But I like the fact that I was trying. Though I ended up gaining even more weight and kept that weight on until recently when I lost about 20 pounds. This was right after I was fired, so now I can give myself grace.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I have long sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I use words like \u201cand\u201d and \u201cbut\u201d a lot to start sentences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I like my voice. I\u2019m not saying much, but I like how I\u2019m saying it. Though I\u2019m not sure I can really recognize my voice yet, or at least I don\u2019t think I can describe it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>My Increasing Weight\u2019s Reminding Me I Have Yet Another Thing to Put on My End-of-Year Agenda from October 30, 2023 Okay, this post is kinda all over the place.
