I feel so proud of myself that I feel like I could almost cry…
I did this 30 day challenge and I am so proud that I finished it! I was so nervous starting this challenge because I thought to myself…
“What will I feel like at the end?”
“Will I go crazy?”
But the reality is that I just want to keep going! I just feel so good! I got these new leggings from Pink Lily and they fit and I love them! I am sure that sounds conceited that I feel so good.
But, I think it should be the norm, to wake up and feel so good you feel like you could cry…happy tears of course.
I think you should wake up in the morning and say to yourself in the mirror…
“Girl, you look good!”
But not only look good, but feel good. Sometimes feeling good means taking care of your mental and emotional health .
Feeling good isn’t just about seeing certain numbers on the scale or wearing a certain size of pants, it’s feeling proud of my choices and know that I am honoring myself….
…not only what makes me feel good physically but mentally and emotionally as well. That to makes me feel good and I feel like we should all have that.
I spent so many years waking up with shame, guilt, beating myself up because I know I wasn’t living up to my potential.
I used to say things like…
“I am going to start tomorrow!”
“I feel guilty for what I did.”
I think that is really hard.
I think that’s harder than putting in the work, it’s heavy, really heavy to carry around with you.
I think it is harder than waking up every day and making good choices even though those good choices might feel hard. I think carrying around guilt, shame and those negative emotions are harder and it is so heavy to carry that around.
I share this because I know there’s someone else reading this blog post, that probably binged last night, or has been telling themselves that they would start since the new year, and maybe in many new years in a row.
There is someone reading this that told themselves that they would do something about their weight. That they would do something about their health and that they would do something about the way that they felt but they just haven’t found the motivation…
If you have been looking for motivation, you’ll be looking forever. I think it’s all about making a decision and honoring that decision. You’re not always going to feel like it, trust me when I say that. If you know better, do better…you deserve it.
Is it hard, yeah but what you are doing now is hard too. I just want to show someone that I have been there too and if I can do this, look at it as evidence that someone else can do it, that means you can do it too. What I want more than anything is to show women that we all deserve to feel our best. Our best might look different, but you deserve to figure out what your best looks like.
