Keep on chugging along. Would be doing better if I could keep my focus over the weekend. Will be my target this weekend. I always have the opportunity to make smart choices, I just end up choosing not to.
For example, my coworker just stopped by my office to say there's homemade brownies in the breakroom... Which I will avoid. 100%. That's my commitment today. Had a big breakfast of an egg casserole with tons of veggies and already got my workout in, so not going to step off track. And, might be going out with coworkers tonight, so I need to budget in one beer. Beer is a carb, right? lol
My trainer sent out an email today that really rubbed me the wrong way. Maybe my view is just skewed from having two decades of self-loathing, depression, and eating disorders, but still. His email was about how you need to be "disturbed" with your body to spark change. He recommended looking at thinner pictures of yourself, trying on too-small swimsuits, buy clothes in too-small sizes, etc. Which I found ridiculous. Most fat people (and I don't mean fat as an insult here. It's just a descriptor), myself included, are acutely aware of our bodies. I really, really don't need to encourage further negative thoughts and generate even more hatred to my body to want to change. And if someone WAS comfortable in their skin, yet had the desire to improve their overall health, why in the world would you want to encourage them to develop a hateful relationship with their body?
You don't need to hate yourself to change yourself. Instead, I'm of the firm belief that to make lasting changes, you need to address the negative narrative you have about yourself. How long would you stay friends with someone told you the things you tell yourself?
