I have come to terms with the fact that I will never be stick thin, and I'm ok with that (most of the time) I am strong and capable, and dammit, you are too! The thing that we also share is confidence. I feel pretty ok about myself and then I see a bad picture and I'm like "Whoa!!!! Really?! I really look like that? YIKES." And that's all it takes to get a girl like you and I down down down. Don't let the bastards grind you down. Whether that's the voice in your head or an image you see of yourself. We can do it!Emhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06244221715268767665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1771561030257238261.post-28829869438589264702011-05-04T11:12:30.229-07:002011-05-04T11:12:30.229-07:00Nothing like an impromptu photo for a reality chec...Nothing like an impromptu photo for a reality check! I saw our family's Easter photos, and yeah, I felt the shame. I'm going to dig out a photo of me at my hottest and put it on the fridge for inspiration.

Since I decided I needed to get healthier, I have been very vocal about it with people. Letting those around me know I am working hard to get in shape and eat better. Before, I would be embarrassed to admit it and didn't like hearing people's response. This time, since I have actually been brave enough to talk about it, it's been so much easier.

For a while, I hired a trainer because I knew she would be waiting for me at the gym and I was PAYING for her services so that helped me get my ass out of bed and get there on time. After a while, I became used to the schedule and it wasn't so hard.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
