Two other bloggers recommended this post, so I had to check it out.

I may get stressed out, and I may have issues... but over all I don't hate myself. I have never been one to hate myself, or call myself names. Ever.
But a lot of blogs I read do these things! It makes me feel so bad, seeing how hard some people are on themselves.
This post is about your old self, and your new self. I thought it was a great post. And even though I don't hate my old self, it reminded me to love myself more :)

Thanks for this one....it is a really great post....hope you are well today!
ReplyDeleteI think "hate" is quite a strong word. I wouldn't say that I hated my old self, but there were plenty of reasons to not want to be that person.
ReplyDeleteI understand what Bluebeari means about giving my old self credit for starting the change, but it was also my old self that got me into that mess. Plus, it's not like we suddenly make the change when we're just a few pounds over weight. We continue to let things slide until we're totally fed up with our bodies, THEN we reluctantly make a change. I'm happy to dislike the old me for letting that happen. I think it would be strange if I didn't.
But that does mean that I can appreciate my new attitude and mindset a lot more :)
The other day, I was eating,
ReplyDeleteand I actually bit myself!
So yeah - don't bit the had that changed your life!
Literally or figuratively!
:)
And by "bit" of course, I mean "bite"
ReplyDeleteUnless of course, I am talking with a fake and very thick accent!
So far so good :) I'll try my hardest to keep it that way :)
ReplyDeleteThanks colenic!
Yeah, I think that makes sense Mark. Maybe I never got fed up with my body, so I don't have those same feelings? I have ALWAYS been over weight, always MORE than a few pounds too. I started this because I want to be healthier, I don't want to die. I want to be here for my son... BUT not because I finally got fed up with my body. Oh, it's not pretty lol... but I never hated it. In fact, now that I'm loosing weight, I am starting to have more problems with it than ever before! I'll have to do a whole post on that haha :) Thanks Mark!
haha! Nice anne h :)
And I knew what you meant :) Had to re read it because I hadn't even noticed the missing e lol.
