Is weigh in day for the Summer Challenge. Don't forget, you Challengers. I have my scale and camera ready to hit it, first thing in the morning.
Sometimes I have the "Why Me?" mentality. Why am I fat? Why was I born, conditioned, whatever to be this way? Why couldn't I have been wired to be "normal"? Why do I have to suffer with this? What did I do to deserve this?
Silly, I suppose. I don't think I did anything to deserve obesity. I think I have a genetic predisposition along with early conditioning and my own disordered thinking about life and how I cope with it to thank for my obesity.
So, now I am trying to change that thinking. Let go of the "Why Me?" and embrace "Not Me". I don't have to be a victim of my genetics or my past or my early conditioning. I can choose to move in a different direction and take control.

ReplyDeleteI am SO stealing this. YOINK!
Have at it. :D
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely powerful insights this day, my friend. I am so proud of you!
ReplyDeleteI agree about the why me mentality - when my dad had his weight loss surgery something clicked inside me and I just realized, wait, I CAN lose weight and I'm NOT resigned to a life of being fat! I love the realization, love the responsibility over my own health!
ReplyDeleteOh silly, don't be so hard on yourself. Don't you know we were all bitchy supermodels in a past life and now we're paying for it?!?! That's my story and I'm sticking to it!! :)
