Honestly, I don't even know why I need to...
This is a totally different subject--but why do we set different rules for ourselves than we set for others??
About three and a half months ago I joined Weight Watchers and for some unknown reason I feel super shy whenever I actually say those words.
But (and here's where my question comes in...) I don't feel that way for others at all. I high five them, I fist bump them, I tell them: way to go, that's amazing, good for you.
So, why have I set this rule that for myself that it's a little embarrassing?
Maybe I feel like I should have more self control or I'm old enough to have formed better habits by now...
But that's just PRIDE.
Because I don't think those things about anyone else. I think--good for them, doing what they can to help themselves! And that's what I believe. And that's what I'm doing for myself.
So, I am throwing my pride in the trashcan, because it isn't pride in what I've accomplished, it's the lame pride, a feeling that isn't helpful or healthy at all.
And I'm telling all of you to help me get rid of it. :)
So-
I've tried My Fitness Pal many many many many many many times.
I looked at that tiny box that 21 day fix gives you for your fats and I wondered how on earth I could shove a cup cake into it--but I never came up with a solution.
I joined CrossFit for three months--that one I liked, in the end it wasn't a love relationship for me. But I did like it and I learned a lot as well as accomplished physically more than I ever thought I could. But the timing was crappy and I wasn't losing weight. And like I said, not love, just like.
So, after Christmas, I quit CrossFit and I joined WW.
And it was right for me.
Maybe not for everyone, but for me, it was right.
I still work out.
I still eat chocolate cake... just not everyday... and after every single meal...
I eat out. And I eat what I want.
I've just learned to balance and to portion better.
And it's worked really well for me.
My body isn't tiny and my body isn't perfect, but I'm happy where it's at.
And I think that's the key. To be happy where you're at. And if you aren't, to do something about it, something right for you--and to not let stupid pride get in your way. :)
