View FACINGFORWARD's food & exercise for this day
So after the "altercation" that I wrote about yesterday, I was poking around on the internet learning about crossfit and I found this guy: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6f4E57momcY
I'm not afraid to lose weight. I'm not afraid of a new look. I'm not afraid of leaving this body behind because once upon a time I was thin and I was pretty. I know I could be again. That's what I want. I want to be strong and fit. What I AM afraid of is loosing my motivation. I'm afraid of quitting because of no reason at all, just quitting because I got lazy. I know there are days when I skip the gym for whatever reason and I know that I should be in the gym but I just don't feel like going. That's my fear. I quit because of no reason at all.
School is starting for my other children soon. I'm afraid of that stress of the balancing act. I'm afraid of betting so overwhelmed that I just quit because I'm overwhelmed.
I don't know if any of this makes sense. All I know is that I don't want to be fat and weak anymore. I'm tired of being fat and weak and I miss the person I once was and the person I could be again.
Keep moving, keep going. Whatever it takes, however long it takes. Where else do I have to be? On the couch poised over a quart of ice cream, with a bag of potato chips in one hand and the remote control in the other?
God I do NOT want to be that person anymore.

Completely understood. You don't want to get involved in something you might fail at or dismiss because in doing so would make you even more upset with yourself.
:)
Been there. Maybe think of the plan this way; the be upset with yourself for not trying.
Good luck!!
