Who has them?

You know when you have one of those days when you look in the mirror and the thought goes through your head...DAM, YOU ARE ONE CHUNKY MONKEY. Then you have those days when you look in the mirror and you go... DAM, YOU ARE SEXY BEAST

Well today is chunky monkey day. Hopefully for all the chunky monkeys out there today, tomorrow you are sexy beasts.

    Absolutely, I think most of us do!

    I make myself find one 'sexy beast' part of myself on those days. Have been working for the last 3 years on deleted negative self-talk. Its much nicer :)

    Same, yesterday was a Chunky Monkey day, when you are struggling through pushups and you look down and say 'damn that is a big shadow'.
    So today I will go for a ride and find a nice hill to go down, that makes it all better :-)

    I have those days a lot. Most of them are fat days. I tend to view myself as much bigger than I actually am most of the time.

    But I do have a few skinny days. :p

    Had a Chunky Monkey day yesterday. Weighed in today.... yep I was up three pounds.

    Today I've had LOTS of water, pee'd my brains out, got a great burn and feelin' pretty righteous right now.

    I so have both those days. On my skinny days I feel awesome, on my chunky days I try to look at what I want to fix, remember that this is a work in progress, think about the workout I'm going to rock the next day, and put on an outfit I know I feel sexy in! ;)

    Mine are always fat days, but when I am thinner than I am now, I do have them. I can deal with being a little bloated, but I hate when my body just feels heavy.....

    I have a mirrored closet in my bedroom. The problem with the mirror is that if you position yourself where the 2 come together you will look half your size. I remember the first time I noticed this, I looked in the double mirror and thought, "damn, girl, looking great!!" then i moved to the side and I was twice the size. That was a huge let down. But now if that happens I close my eyes when i move off the double mirrored part and keep that smaller idea in my head. I at least made sure my profile pic was the regular mirror. :)

    I definitely have those days. One of my mirrors remind me of a fun house mirror..., the more you move to your left, the more you expand. I hate that mirror; although, I do get a good laugh from time to time.

    My clothes are looser and I have begun to lose weight - slowly - but I always have 'fat' days, especially when I see a mirror. But these fat days seem to be lasting longer even though i am thinner (still a LONG way to go, but thinner than 3 months ago)! x

    Totally have those days. Usually right before the time of the month I feel like a fat cow then the week after I feel like I dropped 20 pounds and feel damn good.
