Dear self,
I know you have struggling with getting things back on track
like your nourishment and exercise. I am
going to remind you of something. You have come a long way in your life and
have achieved so much. Especially in the
last year when you started your new journey.
You are inspired and inspiring. Remember
how much you hurt and how tired you always were? Now, remember how good you felt? You had energy and were as pain free as you
could be. The feeling of being sore the
day after your workout was fantastic. Remember
that? Don’t give up. I know you are struggling right now, but you
will get past this. Just keep going even
on the days you don’t want to. You have
yet to regret that time that you did go, yet do regret when you didn’t.
You are amazing, strong and so much better physically and
mentally. No longer do you hear the
voices in your head saying you can’t.
Now it’s turned into “You’ve got this.”
You love the feeling you get during and after your workouts. All of your motivational bracelets you have,
wear them again. That is your reminder
to either not quit or give it just a little bit more. No excuses remember? You might not get that body that you see with
the muscle definition or the six pack abs, but you will have the body that is
meant for you. A strong, healthy,
amazingly wonderful body that won’t be out of shape and feel blah. How excited did you get when you noticed that
you didn’t have that dreaded muffing top and weren’t tugging on your shirts all
the time to pull them back down?
Remember that feeling.
You have it in you do this and stick with it. Stop making excuses and do it. It is said that it is easier to keep going
than to quit and start over again. Well,
in a way you are starting over again and it’s proven to be hard to get back on
track. Don’t quit, you are so much
better than this. Prove them wrong. But most of all prove yourself wrong. Ignore the crap food at home and focus on the
healthy. You can have the crap, just in
a lot smaller portions than you have been.
Everything in moderation. Don’t
deny yourself that craving but don’t indulge in it either. Do your Gratitude Journal every night again,
enjoy your hard earned hot bubbles baths with candles and Frankie, your PiYo
program you got..USE IT, go for that run, hell go for a hike and explore
again. Remember YOU GOT THIS!
I love you,
Your inner self
