Last night I had a pretty emotional night. I spoke with a friend about my self esteem and body issues. We talked about why we wanted to lose weight. Some of the acknowledgements I had to make were tough. I wanted to lose weight for the wrong reasons, but I think very few people want to lose weight for the right reasons. A lot of women will say that they just want to be healthy again, but most of them are harboring a desire to be more attractive. Well ladies, me too. My twenties are supposed to be the peak of my health and physical attractiveness, and so far my peak was in 5th grade. The hard part about me motivating myself to do this is to make sure my goals are about me. Even if I fully admit that I want to be hotter, I have to not think of specific people. I have to tell myself not to even think about men in general. It has to be about me walking out my front door with a swing in MY step, a smile on MY face. We'll see how it goes, eh?
Second Topic. Yoga.
I'ma have to get me into a class. So far, I've done a beginner workout from a youtube video. While it somehow gets me relaxed and sweaty all at the same time, I could probably benefit from a class. In a class, a teacher can make sure I'm doing all the bending and contorting without hurting myself. I like the benefits of a relaxing workout. Improving strength and flexibility in a way that also gets rid of world stresses sounds like a GREAT plan to me. Maybe I'll see if there's an open slot fall semester, or if there's an affordable class in Tacoma.
Oh yeah. My pants fit better already. That's success...
