I have been MIA, and I do...

I have been MIA, and I do miss this board. I have not missed a beat on my workouts, but, boy, have I been pounding the sugar. And, for me, the more sugar I eat, the more I want. I have not put on any weight; however, my headaches have increased in intensity and frequency. My protein intake has suffered. I have started to lose hair again. And since I proclaim my health is important to me, why oh why do I keep up the same behavior? That's really a rhetorical question. I know why. All of your posts are so motivating to me. I did have a revelation in the past week, even amongst the sugar haze; and that is I really want to be a personal trainer, one with an emphasis on working with people (I am assuming mostly ladies) that have a hard time being comfortable enough in their bodies (no matter what size) to step foot in a gym. I am currently looking into what certification to pursue. Maybe Earl and/or Val have some advice. I have been looking for a new vocation. I am no longer interested in working at the only profession I have known in my adult life. I do need to generate an income and have flexibility and control over my schedule. I also don't want to commute. The two things I love to do, besides go to Starbucks and consume sugar, is shop and lift weights. I could be a personal shopper but that would be like an alcoholic working in a bar. Working out is my one true healthy addiction. I have been lifting weights since I was 16, always in a gym setting. Wish me luck. Hugs, Chris
