I have recently been exploring the idea of actually getting dressed for class. You know, not sweatpants type of clothes. I am not trying to impress anyone, but I feel better about myself when I put a little effort into what my wardrobe looks like. Another reason for this is that being some what of a shopaholic, I have a lot of clothes and I never where them! So trying to put those outfits to use. I don't mind taking the time to do it either, it makes me feel like I can do more throughout the day. I don't know the psychology behind that one, but i'll take it when I can.
So although I did wear a cute outfit (I think so anyway) today, I still felt a little bad about my appearance. I have not weighed myself for about a week (Yay me!) but I feel like I have gained a few pounds (max 3 is my guess). And when I look in the mirror, I think ummm gross. I hate that. So although today is one of those days where I would love to sign up for the latest diet, I know that what I am doing is healthy! I am not bingeing, I am eating delicious enjoyable meals. I am not purging because I feel good about the food that I am putting into my body. So when the little voice comes into my head that says "you would look so much better 5 lbs lighter" I am going to try my best to stomp its little head into the ground. I look good, I am healthy, I am happy. I am engaging in healthy behaviors. I am loved and cherished. I do not deserve to feel like I need to lose weight. Because I don't need to!
So, one day at a time my love. You are cherished and precious. You are more than what you weigh!! Go easy on yourself on those rough days.
