Today is my day
What is the point to keep on doing what I have been doing, when all it does is lead me to gain weight, get more and more out of shape, and fall deeper into not liking myself and more and more self-disgust? The place I get to mentally when I am overweight is certifiably insane! I am making myself horribly unhappy, but I refuse to quit doing things that just hurt me and my body…what is the sense in that?
I hate being overweight, yet each day I toss aside my goals and dreams, and I overeat, chug soda, and refuse to work out. It’s stupid.
But I didn’t come here this morning just to put myself down. Today I am putting on the brakes and stopping this silly, crazy nonsense. If I want to lose weight, wishes aren’t going to get me there. Making better decisions and actually taking care of myself will.
When I get home from work today, I am going to change clothes as soon as I walk in the door and work out. I don’t care if it’s 10 minutes. I don’t care if it’s aerobics or weights or pacing the ceiling or playing hopscotch. Come hell or high water, this evening I will move my body and start shaking off the rust and the dust so I can get in shape and rediscover a strong, fit body (and mind).


I am with you all the way! Just coming here is a step in the right direction. I’m a newbie too and the support and encouragement here is AWESOME! Your attitude seems positive towards being healthy and I’m sure you’ll get there. Can’t wait to hear tomorrow how much rust you shake off tonight : )
Your determination is awsome! Once you start moving you will not want to stop!
Love it! I so relate to falling to the same things that get me no where but more miserable. I too will do something…even if its 10 minutes…no excuses
Agreed! No excuses here either!
You’ve got the right attitude - Good luck!
That is the right attitude to have! Baby steps.
