There is something very real about actually seeing a full-body shot of yourself from 4 different angles. I'm normally running from cameras and I hate to have my picture taken because I know I will not like what I see in the photo.
Hiding from the camera is just a form of denial. You know you probably won't like what you see, but you hope that it isn't as bad as you think.
Seeing my pictures (which I have now hidden on my computer) was not easy. I had to fight the urge to let my negative self-talk take over when I finally looked at them. Instead, I just became more motivated to reach my goals. I'm not looking for a quick fix diet or some magic pill to take. Those don't exist and if they do, they are not healthy. This is going to take a lot of hard work and persistence.
My appearance tells a story. I'm clearly not happy with the way I look and I can give you many reasons why I look the way I do. Notice how I did not say "excuses"? I am owning my laziness that I had for over a year and my total lack of caring what I put into my body. I let myself spiral out-of-control and that is the reason why I am overweight.
Tomorrow morning, I will be creating a list of all of the reasons that I gained so much weight and then I will be creating another list of ways to correct those bad habits.
This is all about taking control and owning my actions!
Let's do this!
