I have always had really bad self-esteem, ever since I was a little girl. I always wanted to be thinner, to look like the other girls, to fit in the clothes that they were wearing. It never happened for me and it caused me to really lack self-esteem. I didn't like a single part of me for a really long time and until recently I accepted that as my situation.
When I met Tim I was overwhelmed with how wonderful he was to me. There's not a day that goes by that he doesn't tell me how beautiful I am. I fight him on it all the time and let me tell you, he fights back. He is determined to show me how beautiful I am.
It got me thinking..."I wan't to see what he sees." Lately, I have been feeling like I need to find a way to become my own biggest fan. I need to wake up in the morning with good thoughts about myself otherwise I am going to be my own worst enemy. How am I ever going to get healthy if I wake up with negative thoughts every morning?!
A couple weeks ago I professed on the blog that I am going to lose weight again and then I didn't, I didn't even try! I began to self-wallow and as always I ate because of that (I am an emotional eater if you couldn't tell). When it came time to think about my summer goals and what I wanted to see from myself, I decided there was no better time to start getting healthy than right now.
I want to become my biggest fan.
Losing weight isn't so much about fitting into the clothes that other girls wear like it was when I was younger. Now, it's about feeling good about myself and having a healthy outlook on life. Right now, it's my number one goal.
Since being home, I have been following my Weight Watchers plan and working out daily. Sometimes I wake up and fight myself all day about working out, but I eventually do it and it makes me proud. It's time to feel good about myself and I hope that I will inspire some of you to do the same.
How do you all stay healthy and build good self-esteem?
