Motivational Monday (Yeah, it’s Tuesday): Thick Chicks

September 4, 2012

(source)

The group, F*** It I’m Fat, is a motivational space on Facebook for women to share their challenges, triumphs, and support as we try to lose weight.  At the present, I’m still in the I Wish stage.  I Wish I was losing weight, but my body has reacted badly to a new medication (I hate getting old!) and despite a modified diet (no soda, no sugar, 1200 calories a day) I’m gaining.

Talk about not being a happy camper.

The picture above is one of the tools we use.  Looking at the picture, I realize it’s not about the weight loss but about making healthier choices.  Even though I’m not losing, I now have a healthier attitude to my body.  I’ve accepted that I didn’t gain overnight so I won’t lose overnight.  Everyday I have a choice: I can treat my body as a temple or I can cram junk food in myself and then pay for it later.  Does this always work?  Of course not.  I do know that I don’t have to beat myself up everyday if I’m not following a diet or exercise plan to the letter.

What are you using to motivate yourself?
