Psyching myself out

I swear I've done like a complete 180 when it comes to how I look at myself right now....like, last week I was feeling good and confident, noticing how slim my waist is getting, loving the compliments....then this past week, I look at myself in the mirror, and I'm not liking it at all. It doesn't even matter that I've been losing weight consistently, and I've lost inches off my thighs and hips......my confidence has just taken a bit of a nosedive.

I think I'm just psyching myself out, but man it's really getting to me.

    Happens no matter what weight you are. I'm at a great weight, I'm strong and healthy, and I've got no complaints. But sometimes I get a look in the mirror and ask myself if I even know what I'm doing? It comes and goes. It's usually a reflection of other things happening in my life, and when I walk away from the mirror, and my clothes fit exactly the same, I know my mind was playing tricks.

    Don't sweat it. You're doing great.

    Hang in there! Sometimes I get really down on myself too for no obvious reason. I attribute it to my period (bloating and grumpyness) and/or not getting enough B vitamins. If I don't get them, my brain goes T_T

    Feel better! You can do this!!
