I got some inspiration from my trip to the gym today. When I went to go change my shirt, I stared at myself in the mirror. To be honest, I didn't like what I saw. I felt that I was too fluffy, or I need to get rid of the jiggle here. For someone with low self-esteem as myself, my whole mood shot straight to hell. I think staring into the mirror while going through this process can distort your perception on what you look like. You can be in good shape, but you'll find something that you feel is "wrong" with your body and focus on that. Constantly beating yourself up isn't gonna help the situation. My advice to all those who want to successfully lose weight should avoid the mirror at all times. If you feel the sudden urge to do so, look in the mirror and try to pick a part of your body that you actually like. For example, I like my smile and my overall size. I like being a big dude. I wanna tighten up that jiggle jaggle of course, but I can't let it consume my thoughts. This weight-loss journey is a constant battle between how I view my body versus what is really there. I'm continuing on as a work-in-progress.
