Does anyone else relate to the song by Pink? Dont let me get me..
Everyday I fight a war against the mirror
I can't take the person starin' back at me
I'm a hazard to myself
Don't let me get me
I'm my own worst enemy
Its bad when you annoy yourself
So irritating
Don't wanna be my friend no more
I wanna be somebody else
Are there others out there that feels the same?

I felt this way before making my lifestyle change last July. Now I am my very best friend and LOVE looking in the mirror and seeing the good changes that I have made to my body! It's amazing how great you feel about yourself and everything else in life when you are eating healthy foods and exercising regularly!0

For as long as I can remember. I have this CD and when it came out I played this song over and over and over again. She writes a lot of songs with very similar themes. I see myself in most of them.0

I haven't heard that one yet -- but yes. Not so long ago when I would force myself to really look at my body -- I would alway end up saying "I effing hate you!!" to my reflection. Fast foward to last night -- and mind you -- I'm not seeing a whole lot of change in my body -- but I feel better. Turning this way and that -- I cracked a smile and said "we got this honey."
Even after I got away from the people in my life who put me down -- I continued verbally abusing my self. It's going to take some time for me to change that pattern of behavior -- but I really hope to be my own best friend someday0 -
I have always beat myself up, my own worst enemy. Running, walking, etc has helped me release some of that tension. I also read a great book written (believe it or not) by Eleanor Roosevelt called Learn by Living. Just a thought...

I think we all have days, weeks & months that we feel that way about ourselves.
But on the flip side... you can also become your own biggest fan!0 -
Yes, there are days....0

i love that song, and go in and out of my love/hate relationship with myself. its not about the weight but my past abuse my addictions and the things i've done, i have lost way too much. i belt that song out when i hear it because i relate, but i've been through therapy, suicide attempts, so much **** i won't even list it all, but unless you can look in the mirror and like whos looking back, it will be a struggle. i have to tell myself i am worth more, i have to , if not love, at least like who looks back at me in the mirror. if i don't like/love me who the hell will? i have to change for ME so i'm lovable for me, everyone else, kids, husbands, family have to come second because if i don't invest in me no one else will give a damn.
If i gave you a summary of my life.....(i will spare you!! lol)
The weight loss i'm doing is for me, because i feel better about myself and i want a change, and today when i was in town wearing a new top, checking myself out in windows (and touching my stomach like i was pregnant and its still rounded!!) i smiled because my **** is not holding me back anymore, my beatings from my dad, losing my kids, alcoholism, suicide attempts....shall i go on??
YOU are here for a reason, and i'm very sorry that i've gone on.
BE KIND TO YOURSELF. X0 -
Totally, I remember even crying to it when I was younger. Pink's F*cking Perfect is pretty easy to relate to too.0
