Whenever I look down at my body and become disappointed or angry or disgusted I stop myself and think. This is completely illogical and makes no sense when I am actively working on changing myself for the better. I am making the million little hard choices daily that are required to change my lifestyle around weight loss. I am slowly accomplishing something that is an incredibly difficult and intricate process. I can't change what I look like at the moment or the choices that led me to become overweight, only the actions I take now. The change doesn't happen overnight. How can I hate on myself and my body when I know I am putting in the work to move in the direction I want?
It's a bit of a roundabout thought process but often helps me to keep from feeling hopeless when I don't like what I see in the mirror. It turns those self-deprecating thoughts into ones of pride and determination. Despite losing 50 pounds, I sometimes have a hard time noticing changes and can feel even more insecure than I did at my highest weight. It's important to keep that negative voice in check because that is what catalyzes the vicious cycle of eating all the feelings.
