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.
