Doing well with eating and my food choices. I even got in 45 of cardio today that used to be really hard for me and I'd dread it, but I got through it today no problem and that has got me feeling great! Inside and out. The aerobics vid will still work for me, though, I'll just have to exaggerate the moves more and do it more enthusiasticly, whereas today, I wasnt doing it too crazy since I wanted to get through the whole thing. Very cool.
I have a weight loss blog. It focuses on all my feelings about weight loss. Lots of them very petty and superficial. But eh, my feelings, right? I get embarassed about how superficial I can come across, but acknowledging it is half the battle and maturity comes with experience and time. I focus a big part on actually pounds because I feel like the pounds are my layers of stress and hurting and shedding them will be like letting that "baggage" go. I feel it as the needle on the scale goes down.
I also, do agree however, the scale will not always be an issue and really excelling oneself and reaching fitness goals, is must more satisfying to read. Because that excels the mind as well. And it's exciting to read about a person transformed. Very cool... I don't read many other fitness blogs, but I'll have to take a peak at the one you mentioned, Amy.
The Questions:
How has your view of overweight people changed from your (style conscience?) teenage years till now?Hmm, it has changed a bit, but I didn't think badly of heavy people back then. I think I paid more attention to them than most other teens, though, because I struggled with weight myself and desperately didn't want it to continue by the time I was older. Nowadays, I know it's their own issue and none of my business. I do question their happiness, though, and hope they are living life to it's fullest - something I wish for everyone and myself.
How has your view of your body changed in that time frame?My view of my own body has gone through so many changes and has drastically changed since. I'm still way too overly obsessed with my looks, but I love myself more. I no longer want to look like someone else - I'd miss me too much! Me and I have gone through so much together, there is no other me and I want to stay me. So that has changed a great deal, whereas in a moments notice I would have traded my body for a svelter version, even if that meant another face, I'd welcome another face.
These days, no way. What God gave me is just fine and I want to reach my own personal excellence.
