When You DON'T Love Where You're At
I looked in the mirror today, and I’m going to be honest. I didn’t love what I saw. I didn’t love the fact that I’ve put on ten pounds (and it’s not muscle). I didn’t love the way my swimsuit fit. I didn’t love how I looked.
Yeah, I know you’re supposed to be body positive, and love yourself no matter what and all that jazz. BUT there is a difference between loving yourself and NOT loving where you’re at.
I can love myself, and acknowledge that I have some work to do. I can love myself and recognize that where I’m at is a step back from where I’ve been and an even bigger step back from where I want to be. I can love myself and still look at myself realistically. Not in a negative, shaming way. In a healthy way that motivates me to get my butt in gear.
I don’t love where I’m at right now, so what am I going to do about it? I have a few choices:
Accept it and just resign myself to where I’m at.
Complain about it but do nothing to change it.
Look myself square in the eye and do what I need to do to not only get back to where I was, but achieve the goal I set for myself two years ago.
I choose option 3. Vacation is over, summer is done, and all of the excuses I’ve made for not doing the right things are null and void!
I not only want to love myself, but also love where I’m at. So I’ll put in the work, make the right choices and do what I need to do to be the best version of myself!
How about you? Which option will you choose? I vote that you pick #3 too! Let’s do this together!
