Ridiculous thoughts that get you through your diet/workout- NO JUDGEMENT

Wwwwaaaayyyy back in jr high school, a girl commented on how nerdy looking i was. Not that nerdy is a bad thing, but she said it in a derogatory way. Out of nowhere.

Thats always been in the back of my mind.

When I'm finding myself struggling I say to myself "Amy, you @#%$ing #@$%& this summer do you want to be FIT or Jealous?(as in being jealous of all the "skinny" girls wearing nice clothes and looking flawless while I'm stuck wearing shapeless maxi dresses and sweating like a baked ham in the heat) I kind of chant that to myself "Fit.not.Jealous.Fit.not.Jealous"

As i mentioned on here once before I also insult myself if i start to slack off, I work out in front of a mirror and I glare at myself and if i stop I look at myself in the mirror and swear at myself and yell at myself to stop being so lazy and gross and get back to work.....that probably makes me sound crazy but it works.

Also I have these short shorts I've had them for years, they're like super short board shorts they're deep emerald green zebra print I just love them! but the last time i was able to fit into them was when i was about 17 and about 25kgs lighter i still have a photo of me wearing them...that i keep on my phone its the one photo i've transferred onto every phone i've ever had and the thought that one day I'll be able to wear those shorts again if i keep up the work keeps me going.

When I was working out to get in shape before my sister's wedding I would imagine looking better than her at the wedding. Mean, I know, but I was the maid of honor and maybe just a tiny bit jealous. Really, only a tiny bit. In the end we were about the same size at her wedding and we both looked great.

Now, I imagine what it will feel like to finally be handed my PhD. It has nothing to do with working out, but it makes me feel all happy and exhilarated. Until I remember I have 2 more years.

Whenever I need motivation. I lift my shirt up and look at my stomach in the mirror. It's kind of gross. I tell myself if I stay focused then one day my stomach won't be gross anymore lol.

I think thats really good. As you lose weight you find you cna look at your body and see it changing, fat going, muscles showing, so keep at it.

Some guy in Knoxville, TN hollered at me from his car on a busy street bordering University of Tennessee about 3 miles through a 6-mile run. His sage advice: "Lose some weight, Fatty!" I think about that a lot. Makes me laugh, lik WTF do you think I'm doing running up this ridiculous hill...

That is just so awful!

I wouldn't consider this ridiculous, but it's actually more on the serious side. I think about all of the people who are serving our country in the military and are overseas far away from home in uncomfortable and scary conditions. And that if they can do hard things for me, then I can do less hard things for me.

I love this

I love this, too.

I think about all the people who are thinking how fat I am whenever I'm out in public. I also think about how good it would feel to not have to do in the plus size section of a store. Im praying for that one day.

It's a love hate thing. I've always been short even if I am not tiny.My friends at college (the ones over six feet tall) used to play pass the Jen and toss me at each other. They threw me at my boyfriend, chronically thin at six feet tall, working on building core to support his back, and we nearly went through a window.

Okay. So he'll never be able to catch me, but I want myself to weigh less than him. After all I'm a foot shorter. It's a sweet spot where he can pick me up.

That and, "Darn it I'm finishing this set and getting another sip of coffee." The joys of morning exercise.

Loved readings these ladies!! Nice to know I'm not the only one

My other half and I were discussing one evening a proposed extra tax on sweets, chocolates and the like and he referred to us as 'fat slobs'. It was a throwaway comment on his behalf and he didn't mean it cruelly but it stung and stuck.
Now whenever I'm struggling with those last few mountain climbers, push-ups, bunny hops etc. I yell to myself 'Work.F*****g.Harder!' in time with each leg pump, push and hop.

I think about all the people who bullied or talked bad about my weight and then I think about what they will think when I have lose weight.

How good I will feal after I finish a workout where I gave it my best.

When I'm struggling with arm exercises at the gym my (silent) mantra is 'no more cardigans, no more cardigans.' It makes me smile enough to keep going. And who knows, one day I might ditch all those cardigans in the charity shop.
