Things I have noticed...

Since I have lost weight I have noticed a few things I think differently about and a few things I do differently due to how I now think. I thought I would share some of those things because I want to make sure I am not the only one, or allow a fellow blogger to realize they are not the only one’s who may do some of these things.

 At the gym…

I use to choose the machines way in the back corners where no one would see me because I was embarrassed.

Now I do not care what machine I use and I am proud to be getting fit. I know now it is because I have used those machines that I am able to lose weight.

I use to make sure I wore black shirts to the gym because I was embarrassed when my sweat would be visible.

Now I am dam proud of that sweat and I wear all color shirts to work out in.

I use to not stretch at the gym because I was embarrassed to be bending over or of what people would think of me.

Now I love to stretch and I don’t give a shit what I look like.

I use to not run where people would see me.

Now I don’t care because I know I am getting healthy and doing what I need to do for ME.

In public…

I use to dress in cloths that did not attract attention. Baggy sweatshits, hair thrown up, no make up.

Now I take time to do my hair, I wear cloths that fit properly and I enjoy showing off my hard work. I like to try new styles and I am so much more confident.

If I were offered to sit in a chair that did not look like it would hold me I would refuse and say “I rather stand, I have been sitting all day.”

Now if I want to sit, I plop my fat ass right on down.

I use to not eat at big gatherings because I always felt I would be judged for what I was eating in public.

Now I know I have planned and earned my food consumption for the day and I realize no one really gives a shit what everyone else is eating.  

So basically in a nut shell, I have gained more self-confidence. I realize not everyone who looks in my direction is judging me. I project more confidence and in turn am able to see more positively because of it.
 

 

 

I was able to complete 65 minutes of cardio at the gym this morning and was thinking of all these things…just wanted to share. Happy Thursday everyone!
