I am a Navy wife, which means I spend an awful lot of time alone. Living far away from home and hardly seeing your husband can make food a very good friend, very quickly. I don’t get out much. I’m a full time student online and live in a highly active city. This doesn’t make a homebody particularly comfortable. I have a few friends, but they all have children and revolve around that. My Golden Retriever loves to walk with me, but there really is nowhere to walk. I live basically on the side of a mountain and there is nothing but hills. Maybe when I get closer to being in shape this won’t intimidate me as much as it does now. Buddy needs some exercise too. I’m looking forward to our next deployment, not because I won’t miss my husband, but because I can focus more on myself; health and otherwise. That being said, between the diets and being away from my husband will make for a very long year in 2012.
