"I'm too tired!"
"Healthy food costs too much!"
"It's my birthday/Christmas/Thanksgiving/National Pie Eating Day!"
"I have kids!"
"There's not enough time!"
Wah wah wah. I've heard all of these and said all of these. I even tried one already today. It IS hot. We missed our window this morning for a cooler walk because I was so tired from a busy weekend and slept until 9am. And when I opened the door just 10 minutes ago, I couldn't breathe.
So we will probably end up playing Kinect in the air conditioned house or going for a walk this evening after dinner.
I am going to take daily progress pictures because frankly I need the visual reminder of why I'm doing this. I won't post all of them here because that would get boring and redundant, except for those of you who want to see me in my granny panties. But I will take them every day because when I saw these last night, I wanted to cry.
How do I not see this when I look in the mirror? Thankfully my Batman loves me and tells me I'm beautiful every day. I know that beauty is not simply surface and that just because I am at an unhealthy weight does not mean I'm not beautiful. But damn it's hard for me to put that word to the images in these photographs.
I can't wait to see what I look like on day 365.
It's easy to make excuses. Even harder to stop. Trust me, been there - done that.
ReplyDeleteYou are beautiful. But you need to be healthy too! :) Its not about weight or size. It's about health.
I need you. Batman, Money and Bug need you. :)
