But I am really struggling to keep this streak going. The past couple of weeks have been hard...I need to figure out whats bugging me. But for now, here are some funnies and some "not so funnies". Enjoy!
I like that one because its so true. People get way too hung up on sizes....they are so determined to fit into a size 4 or 8 or whatever, that they don't even pay attention to how the clothes actually FIT. They are just too worried about the number on the tag.
Wear what fits, regardless of what the tag says. You'll look a lot better in something that fits correctly as opposed to stuffing yourself into something thats too tight.
Ok, this one is sad...sometimes I really do feel this way. I work every day on my self esteem, but some days are better than others. Fortunately, I am having less and less days where I feel like this;
I remind myself all the time that I shouldn't put myself down. We should all build ourselves UP! The world will see you as you see yourself;
I've been having some "off days" but I'm hanging in there and not giving up. My goal for the month is to be my own Valentine, and I am still doing my best to love myself and to treat my body with respect!
Love the blog, Pixie!! There are so many cute and sad comics here and so very true. Thank you for keeping us inspired and CONRATS on your continued loss!!
Hello Pixie! U have a Great Blog! I think you should get on the scale! U might be surprise and lost more weight! Sometimes our body don't feel like we have weight loss! I use to say the same thing all the time! I get weigh in every week! I also do weightwatchers! I always say I did not lose cause my body did not feel like. But I always have a weight loss most of the times!!!!
So many good ones...love the musketeer, and totally agree with him. Love the banana and carrot. I like the maid who is totally facetious about the diet coke as well as the "you are what you eat and drink". The little girl with the heart shadow was sweet, and the guy with the self esteem rising could be me. And though I'm usually smiling, my favorite is the cat who is addicted to fitness.Thanks for the smiles.
Your drawing of how you feel around other women really hit me. What a job we have done on ourselves. That picture was me. Thank you for posting it...it really points out to me what I have to work on. The cartoons are great.
Great blog! Thanks for sharing. Like you I have been struggling to stay on track. I have to track every victory, and make each decision over and over again, and not get too down when I lapse and go off track. The jokes really brightened my day!
I needed this this morning! I so appreciate the running with crazy clown motivation one too - I have a coworker trying to convince me to run...while I resemble a beach ball!
You are worth it! You're funny and courageous and persistant, and beautiful! Thanks for sharing your laughs and struggles and rewards and showing us all it can be done!
Thanks for sharing...I have the opposite problem from buying sizes too small...when I weighed 183 lbs I loved big sloppy clothes because I thought they hid...so why am I still doing that at 121?
find your shoulds and decide if they're true try them on boths way should and should not and see what is really true! make a small plan to get it done or let it go one should at a time
I understand what you're going through. I have been struggling these last few weeks also, but what else can I do but go on? I also have bad body image days,but i also have good ones. You can read my blog "Loving to hating my body in 10 seconds" and see what I mean. A 53 day streak is very . Be proud and go on!
Girlfriend you lift me up so high with your wonderful blogs. I'm wiping laughing tears from my eyes right now!
Here's a link to an article that might help you right now. I guess you'll have to cut and paste it but I think it might help with any rough patches you're going through.
When sleeping women wake, Mountains are moved. Do you feel the earth moving under your feet? I liked all your funnies but the motivation to run...that one goes on my fridge!
Oh Pixie... I'm so sorry you've been feeling off these past few days. We all bump into those days sooner or later. I was there two and a half, three weeks ago, and thought that I won't be able to get out of it. It lasted for some time until I got on the scale and found out that I lost 1kg. And even though I'm like the energy bunny now, I'll be there again also. My point is, stick to your plan, and keep pushing. You never know what will happen today or tomorrow, and what will get you going again. Make sure you don't regret what you did in the meantime. And you'll have something else to be proud, because you were strong enough and didn't give up. Do something nice for yourself! You deserve it! Small things and small rewards. Now don't laugh, but yesterday was two weeks from my first weigh-in and two weeks 'till my next one. I was impatient! I wanted something to look forward sooner, something that will come in between and cheer me up. It was too long to wait two more weeks. I aimed for 500 monthly fitness minutes. I had to have that trophy yesterday. But it didn't felt like it would be enough. So, what did my inner nerd do? I got myself new pretty pencil and eraser for the office. I got home and got that trophy, and today I have something pretty at work. Well, that was my thing, but find what works for you! Something to cheer you up and keep you going when it's tough. And of course - you have all the extra support you need right here among your friends!
