The Mirror

During my run this morning, my mind was all over the place. From my upcoming state board exam to my new running shoes that my mom ordered me for Christmas. At one point, my mind wandered into the frightening world that is "the mirror".

While I am aware that I'm an attractive, young woman. There is more to me than my face. I am working towards being toned and fit and just overall healthy. I think the hardest part of this journey for me us not being able to visualize what I'd look like fit. I've been chubby my whole live. I've had a belly pooch for as long as I can remember and I've always lacked muscle tone.

There are those boards out there that tell you to visualize your ideal body when you feel like giving up. The problem for me is that I cannot see myself with one. This will not stop me from getting what I want and achieving my goals but I find it kind of funny that I cannot come to see myself in this "ideal body".

Does this happen to anyone else? How have you overcome it? ...or am I just crazy?
