Nutrisystem #29

Today wraps up my 29th week on Nutrisystem.
 
Some days, when I wake up and look in the mirror I still can't believe that the reflection looking back is really me.
 
 
Mirrors are funny, aren't they?
Our minds are even stranger.
 
when I was a teenager and weighed less than my daughters do today, I thought I was fat.
 
I weighed 110 and thought I was huge.
 
After I had my first few kids, I weighed a little less than what I weigh now and I thought I was fat then too.
 

 
Now that I lost some weight, my mind still thinks of myself as fat.
when I go clothes shopping I start walking towards the plus sizes
until I stop and think to myself "hey you aren't a plus size anymore"
I still reach for bigger clothes, because when I hold up something in my actual size I think to myself, surely that won't fit me.  then I try on the bigger size and I'm shocked that it so huge.
 
 
why do we torture ourselves like this?
what in the world is this world coming to?
I read the other day that a size 8 was plus size.....an 8!!!
Seriously!
 
who decides these things?
 
Yes, being healthy and "skinny" is wonderful,
 
But having a healthier mind set is even better.  Let's stop tormenting ourselves and give each other a break, shall we?


Let's not only get physically healthy
but mentally healthy as well.
 
we owe it to ourselves.
