True Confessions - Don't Judge

I confess I hate xmas. The reckless consumerism aside...I'm just sick of having to put on a "happy face" for the sake of my family. I'd rather just have me and my kids and order pizza, play games and laugh. Had to watch my older kids frantically search for gifts to people they "have" to buy for.. super stressful and crowded. I only do "christimas' because my dad pressures me to, and if we just skipped it I'd never hear the end of it. My kids don't care. They just want family time and food, they don't care about presents, they were not raised to be like that. OH..plus I just worked a stressful night shift (nurse), and now I have to frantically run around all day, travel etc..by the time I get to sleep xmas eve, I will have not slept for almost 40 hours.

I had a few days where I felt pretty this week and my confidence was up. I felt good THEN we decorated Christmas cookies and someone else took pictures....I saw pictures of myself (full body) that somebody else took. So I saw myself through somebody else's eyes..no good angles, no good light, just reality. I feel so ashamed for my earlier confidence in the week.

This is bullshrimp! Don't feel shame for feeling good for one effing minute! Your confidence is from your progress and the hard work you have put in. And it's hard earned. You are a work in progress but not one you are avoiding. I'm 3 lbs from goal and still hate seeing pics of myself. But I'm confident in how I got here and my progress. I've seen your progress honey. You EARNED that confidence.

This all day long. Confidence shouldn't come only when you look your best. It should come with knowing how far you've come and knowing that you will get where you want to be.

We all have bad days. I see pictures of myself I don't like all the time. But I'm confident in knowing if I don't like something I'm capable of changing it.

I am working on changing it. this is my confession though and I can't help how i feel. I feel shame and disgust, I feel gross. Yes I'm proud of how far ive come and how hard i've worked..this is true. I'm not just gonna roll over and die either. I will keep going until I get where I want to be. But I can't help that I feel ashamed that I felt I looked good bodywise....then I saw the truth....and I felt shame for what I saw. THat is my confession those were my emotions. Saw yes at that moment I felt the confidence sure I earned it....but reality is a *kitten* *kitten* isn't she?

I think you're pretty awesome; I damn sure do.

let's see... pretty, funny, sweet. yeah, three outta three ain't bad!

I confess that I am not in the Christmas spirit at all and can't wait until it's over. This is my 4th Christmas alone and I'm feeling really depressed and sad. I used to love Christmas. I hate it now.

Hang in there, kid

I confess that I don't believe I will ever be able to get to a healthy weight.

You can do it. Everyone has the ability. Just stick with your plan and you'll get there.

My husband is moving out in 2 days and I confess that those 2 days can't go fast enough for me. Agreed to stay together until after Christmas because that was my kids' one request. I've never felt better about myself than when I finally put my foot down and said it was time for him to go!

Is it selfish of me to make everyone wait until after my workout to open presents...? Lol.

I started at 8a...

yes.
might I have been the first one up in my house though waiting for the others to get this butts out of bed. Presents are way more important than anything else

Well I asked.. Haha...

Everyone is still in bed though except for my boy... But his mother won't be ready until probably after I'm done anyhow...

Blaming the wife now, haha... Now I'm really digging myself a whole...

Merry Christmas Everyone!

I really don't like when my one set of cousins comes over. Everything gets loud and annoying and I just want to leave.

I retreated to my home office.
