❀ Actually, I Can ❀

I can’t shake this negativity I’m feeling. I’m normally quite a chipper person, but today, I’ve felt really, well.. crap, for want of a better word. I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary to warrant such feelings, but alas, I am feeling down. I didn’t binge or eat anything crazily unhealthy (when I do, I usually feel this way) so I dunno why. 

Oh, I guess it could be due to the fact that I walked into Lorna Jane and was admiring the super expensive but amazing workout clothes, surrounded by super skinny girls trying on outfits and looking spectacular in them. I guess feeling like the fattest one there may have sparked the whole downward spiral of negativity that I’m feeling.

Gotta shake it! I don’t like feeling so down, especially when I’ve made a good start to a healthier lifestyle. It would be different if I hadn’t made the change and still felt out of place in the fitness store. I have to remind myself that this change isn’t a quick fix and I won’t suddenly be a size 8. I have started, I have committed to a healthier way of living which incorporates eating well and daily physical activity so I can’t do anything more than that. Rome wasn’t built in a day! 

I’m starting to feel better already. I think I just needed to reaffirm those notions. Yes, you are overweight now, but you are trying to make a difference to that. *nods* Okay. I feel better. I think I just need to breathe and repeat some of these to myself for a while. No sense getting upset over something that I’ve already accepted and started to change.
