Honesty
So with improving myself, I need to be more honest. Not just with other people, but most importantly with myself.
I need to start being honest about what I want out of life.
What I want from others.
What I don't want from others.
I'm going to try up-front with what I'm feeling. I'll try to update with applicable thoughts.

What do I want from myself?
What I'd like from myself is to find happiness. I guess it should start with the most obvious point: loving myself. Generally, I'm good with me but there are things I don't like. Most of these things are physical. As much as I try to ignore them, the physical does impact my self-esteem.
I've had a highly distorted sense of self-worth for a long, long time. I'm on this workout regime but I don't think it's enough, I think I should add lifting to it.
I hate that so much of my self-worth is tied to the physical. I make excuses like "I'm hot by Canadian standards." It's not healthy to think like that. I need to start looking at myself as more of an open mind.
Maybe the first big thing I can do is stop saying that I'm fat. Yes, I have some extra weight but it's all part of the process of the workout. But I'm not obese.
I am NOT fat. I am NOT fat. I am NOT fat.
I am Fine. I am Attractive. I am Good-looking.
This is going to take time but I've started. And I will not fail.
