I’ve Decided Not To Be So Hard On Myself

It’s no secret that lately I have been a little depressed about getting older.  I went shopping again this weekend and after trying on a bunch of clothes I decided that well…nothing has changed and I am STILL depressed.

So, I have decided to take action.  Soon I will transform my body into the lean machine that has lived inside of it for the past 30 some odd years.  The body that has been yearning to be set free from the “full hips” or “loose”  jeans and into a pair of “skinny” ones.  However, you will have to stay tuned and wait for me to return from my vacation.  Give me a good week or two before I start my 90 day fitness challenge.  I plan to blog it to let you know what I am doing and my progress and results of course.

In the meantime, I will no longer be as hard on myself as I have been the last couple of months.   Why?  Because I have realized that my situation could be A LOT worse.  Take for example this guy.  All I can say is

Oh.  My.  God.

Wow.

Yes.  When you can fit a firearm in between two layers of FAT that is on YOU…um…I’m thinkin’ you’ve got way more serious problems than being in jail.  In fact, I would think being behind bars would actually be a blessing in disguise for this man.  He’s on a restricted diet whether he wants to be or not right?  He’s bound to lose weight eventually.

On the flip side, maybe he was hiding the gun in his rolls of fat so he could threaten the prison guards…you know, to bring him more food.

Things that make you go hmmm…

It IS really sad though.  It breaks my heart to see when people get this large.  He’s only 25 years old!  All kidding aside, I sincerely hope he gets his weight under control because as I said before, prison will be the least of his problems.

    Thanks Everyone! I have about 10 pounds to lose (not THAT bad I guess) but more than anything I want to look leaner and be stronger. I have zero energy now too so I’m hoping it will help with that. I figure if I tell you all that I am doing this challenge I will have to hold myself accountable and actually DO it! It won’t be easy but I’m at least going to try. Keeping my fingers crossed that I can make it through the first week! LOL!

    I have all the confidence in the world that you will surpass all your fitness goals. Congratulations on being easier on yourself. May I suggest a heaping dose of self-acknowledgment for how far you have already come!!

    Good luck, It is hard to remember that I don’t have it bad at all. I need to be not so hard on myself too.
