When I get discouraged I change my thoughts

manda1111

I tried for a long time to "be" a certain way, thin, pritty and the list goes on. I was never successful and always found myself under a new layer of guilt and discrougament when I was through. But slowly it changed and I can track it back to something that a friend said to me when I was having a "I'll never change" moment. She told me that I have to do it becasue I love myself. Not becasue I needed or wanted to be soemthing other than what I was but because I wanted to take good care of my body and my emotional well being. So now when I don't see the changes that I would like or struggle with motivation I remind myself that its not about the numbers its about loving me. I can't tell you how that has changed my out look and given me motivation. I look at my exersize time as my own time to be with myself and really love on me. I hope this encourages some of you to do the same and change your thoughts when you get a little down on yourself. I'm so glad that I found this site and the encouaging messages posted here.
