so i am beginning that classic battle of the scale again. unfortunately, right now, i have some medical issues that are causing me to put on some added pounds. i truly do need to keep my diet in better check, but i do eat modestly when i have my meals. i am just finding a sweet tooth to be consoling at times for me. i know that is a classic concept for people, especially those that have some weight to drop, and it is my ultimate downfall. it feels so good to eat something not so good for me in the moment, even if i know if a few hours it will not feel so good anymore. so, i begin to battle the numbers again. i am very pleased to know that the weather is going to be getting nicer in the coming months, which will definitely help me with the working out---love to take spring walks around the neighborhood or park. just been too darn cold recently.
hopefully expressing my concerns about the scale and the numbers and the pounds will help me to keep myself in better check with things. also, putting it in writing is always a good idea for me.....it makes it seem more real, sorta like a type of evidence that can be held against me or even shown in supprt of me at a later time.
so, here it is.
it seems that lately i've been really having a poor body image. real on again off again type of thing. one day i feel ok (never GREAT) and the next i feel in the dumps. i don't do enough to really change things.. i mean, i walk and all, but not enough intense cardio and ab exercises and such. it is just so stinkin' hot here lately, and, in all honesty, i can not afford a gym to be able to do all said things in the cool. i can always find one feature to give kudos to, but then there are always the ones that i don't like, which ALWAYS seem to have more pull than the good ones. oddly enough, i've been giving the scale a lot more credit in my life here recently than i ever really should. i know it is not about the number, but i still see and know the number, so that is there in my head. i know that everyone experiences body image issues at some point, male and female, so i know that i am not alone in the frustration. well, i take that back, everyone might not--have you seen angelina jolee and brad pitt??? they may not ever doubt themselves and their bodies. so, until i am a mega movie star that can pop out twins and look perfect the next day, i guess it will be a struggle............yet i wish it wasn't. anyone got any body image tips out there?
