feeling better in body and mind
Well, I am feeling much better today. My cold seems to be on the down slope, and mentally I feel refreshed. It is odd that one small comment can put you in a downward spiral. I am going to try my hardest to not let those comments get to me, but just as they say that after years of poor eating and no exercise you can’t expect to get the body you want, after years of negativity and low self esteem you can’t expect to just be all happy and giddy all the time. It will take time to get through this, and through therapy and the positive remarks I am getting from all of you. It will get better.

Good for you!
Being realistic about your goals, both physical and mental, are a great step towards achieving them. I still find it hard to like myself when I look in the mirror, though it is getting easier now that I’ve lost over 30 lbs of fat this year. I tell myself that I’m OK the way I am now but I know I can look & feel even better in the near future with proper diet & exercise plus thinking positive thoughts about myself instead of the esteem-killing negative mantra I can get stuck on.
Keep telling yourself, it will get better!!!!
