Trying to find that motivation I lost somewhere
About 2 months ago, I decided, enough was enough, it was time to get my act together. Time to stop being lazy, time to take control of my life back, time to stop being fat. So the journey began, as most do, the first month was great, I exercised my butt off (almost literally) and watched what I ate just about perfectly (give or take a few beers). And then the next month, things kept going, there was a little "cheating" and a few "rest" days, and before you know it, I'm sick as a dog and working my ass off at work. Since then, things have slowly been going down hill. I haven't gained any weight, I've managed to keep off the 15lbs I've lost (so far anyways) but I can tell I'm heading in the wrong direction. I haven't been to the gym in over a week, and am guilty of eating fast food more than once last week. Now, my lifestyle is nowhere near what it had been before this change, but I can say for sure, I don't like what it is currently. But the problem? Where did my motivation go? I'm pretty sure I burnt myself out, and once I got sick, the excuse of "I don't feel well" and "I'm too tired" came all too easy. And there is always the comfort foods that immediately begin to crave the moment I feel a sickness coming on. So, enough is enough... again. It's time to regroup, locate that motivation that is currently hiding from me, and get my ass back into gear. I figured I'd start a list, of all the reasons I want to do this, so next time this happens, because we all know it will, I can check back here, and remind myself why doing this to myself. So in no particular order, here we go!
1. To boost myself esteem
2. So people will judge me for me and not by the size of my waist
3. To live a long healthy life
4. To be physically fit enough to do all the activies I want
5. To be able to RUN! (I've actually worked myself up to jogging 1.5 miles so so far)
6. I want to have babies one day
7. To wear low rise jeans without having to worry
8. To love the way I look when I look in the mirror
9. I want to prove to myself that I can do whatever I put my mind to
10. I want to be able to buy clothes in sizes that don't include an X
11. I'm tired of being the token fat funny friend
12. I'm tired of being tired
13. So I don't try to hide behind people or objects in pictures
14. I don't have to worry about which way I need to tilt my head so I don't get a double chin in pictures
15. I want to be able to walk into any store and find something cute to wear
16. I want to inspire people
17. I want to be HOT
More to come...
