I needed to go under my dresser for a dropped item, and came across my scale. Two things I really don't like are mirrors and scales, so I usually avoid them at all costs. I decided to step on it for a change. Figuring that I had just gone through a winter sedentary period, that I was going to see that I had gone up in weight significantly. But I figured it would be good to find out.
Low and behold, I was at a weight that I hadn't been at since I was 22 years old. No dieting or anything, just trying to watch what I ate. Now that the weather has turned very springlike, I am going to force myself into a healthy regimin of excersize to get the rest of me into better shape. I figure I am about 10 pounds from my ideal weight (personal ideal, I am not a kid anymore).
It was amazing to me, that I really thought I was obese before that moment. I guess I have to look at things realistically, and stop feeling so bad about myself. I have started to make myself look in the mirror each day, and see what really is there, and not listen to the negative voices in my head anymore.
