Motivation Mishaps

So, lately..... I have been...... what's the word...... slacking.

I have been to the gym once.

And I have eaten everything that hasn't eaten me.

I have gained 3 pounds.

I know why my motivation left, I just don't know how get it back.

Most people love me (or tolerate me) for my honesty and openness. So I am going to be both things, open and honest. I could say my lack of motivation came from anywhere. But, if we are being honest, it came from a boy letting me down. You don't need the details, and this isn't the place to air them, but let's just say it went from really good to really bad really fast. And I was not really happy.

When bad things happen, it is so easy to go back to old, bad habits and I have many old, bad habits. Two of the main ones are sitting on my butt and watching TV and eating my feelings, which I have done the for the last few days.

Even thought I'm over the initial shock and embarrassment of the situation, however my motivation is still not here.

SO why I have learned some valuable lessons....

.... my motivation is still lost.

So what do you do to find motivation again..... Really....I need help.

Jeans

No matter how stores try to candy coat it, there is a certain stigma around the plus size section of stores. They can call it curvy or misses or whatever, but we all know what it is. There is an imaginary line in the middle of the store where no one wants to cross. At least that's how I feel about it. I'm sure the girls on the "regular" side could careless, or the workers for that matter, but I always feel self conscious when shopping on the side of the store. Sure, you get used to it and laugh when you're with your skinny friends and say "I'll be over on the big girl side" and saunter on your way to the plus size section. While you began to search through the racks on your side, you secretly long to be on the other side of the store, where there is double, sometimes triple the selection of clothes. You find something, take it back to the dressing room to try it on. It doesn't look right, it's too tight, it's not what you thought ...

Transformation Tuesday

Good Tuesday Morning to you all! I am up bright and early to go to a workshop today. It was hard to get up, which is funny because I get up early every other day. Anyways, this blog isn't about my workshop, it's about Transformation Tuesday.... I literally just read a quote on facebook while I was looking for a picture to use, that sums up transformation: Transformation is not easy. It starts on the inside before you see it on the outside. There are struggles. It comes with pain. It comes with a lot of hard work and effort. Without going through the tough stuff you aren't able to enjoy true transformation. Don't be discouraged but the rough days. Greater things are on the other side! ♥ That's the honest truth. Transformation isn't easy, but it is the most enjoyable thing I have experienced. And the thing about transforming your body, you also transform your mind. Everything changes. This is me. This is me before...

What I Want You To Understand

I posted the following picture on Facebook and Instagram last night. I posted the following caption with it: I wish I could explain how it feels to look at these pictures. I'm sure I should feel proud, but I feel disgusted. I remember being that girl. I remember how I felt.... Miserable. Look at that stomach. That isn't normal. That's not how a woman is supposed to look. I am disappointed in myself that I did that to myself. I am also disgusted that I've come so far and I've been slacking. I hate it. And I hate what I've done. Turning around again. ‪#‎ progress‬ ‪#‎ motivation‬ ‪#‎ fightingtheinnerfatgirl‬ My Instagram friends took this post for what it was worth, leaving comments such as "We all fall down and get back up" and "I understand how you feel,I've been slacking too". My Facebook friends, however, just kept telling me how I was beautiful before and now and that beauty is not defined by a size and not to be to ...
