Ughghghghgh. Trying to have a positive attitude despite the fact that AF is here and I feel like poop. Even though I'd rather veg out on the couch with recovering DH (who is doing just fine, btw) I am going shopping today. I realized that I'm headed back to the midwest in a few weeks and I've got nothing to wear as Missouri is not a year-round-t-shirt state. Thankfully one of my friends is coming along with me to help keep me from getting in a sour mood. (This is the part where I do not berate myself for not wearing the same size I wore this time last year. This is the part where I remind myself that being in that size also meant that I was malnourished and was losing hair and fingernails. I am also reminding myself that my fingernails are now strong, my hair is growing back and I don't look sickly anymore. *deep breath* and repeat... Sol, are you proud of me? :)
No exercise today but I boxed for an hour by myself yesterday.
Breakfast: protein bar, ww bread, oatmeal
No idea about the rest of the day. Friend and I may bring home Thai food for hubby.
Have a great weekend guys!
I'm proud of you although you didn't ask me if I were.
Ah, thank you. :) My comment to Sol wasn't meant to exclude anyone else... I just usually think of her as the most level-headed positive body image role model that we have here.
Shopping wasn't as bad as I thought. I'm going to probably have to play dress up and make sure I want to keep everything I bought but all in all, it wasn't too traumatic.
The first thing that popped into my mind is to reply "But you haven't seen my cookie dough thighs!" :)
I know that you're right. I'm am working very hard on accepting myself and trying not to be so critical. It's a journey, as you know. It's just something that requires a lot of self-talk and repetitive thinking... forcing out the bad thoughts and replacing them with good ones.
Btw, I asked for those "Losing It" books you mentioned for Christmas. :) I'm pretty sure I'll get them and I look forward to reading them.
hey while we're on this subject, did anyone see the Simpsons last night? Lisa started to get really self-concious about her "big butt". there's a funny scene where
