Obviously I have no filter...

I'm about to do a hardcore rant.

I have worked very VERY hard to be where I am at right now.

None of it was easy at first. I miss certain foods, and sometimes I am complaining in my head the entire time I am working out. My body is always sore. I am exhausted by 8pm and ready to go to bed. I usually have to shower twice a day which makes my skin dry and itchy and no amount of lotion is a savior for that. I don't do some things I want to do because I make time to go to the gym and work out.

BUT YA KNOW WHAT?

 

It's ALL worth it. It's easier now to avoid nasty food and pick up something healthy to snack on. I feel amazing after I work out and I'm tired and sweaty because I know that I just kicked my body's ass, and am on my way to a healthier me. One day I won't have to work AS hard (still will work, though) to be healthy, thin, fit, whatever you want to call it. I am working my way to a healthier me, and even though sometimes it REALLY REALLY sucks, it doesn't matter. It's something that I REALLY wanted and I worked for it. I didn't take a pill, or starve myself. I learned healthy eating habits, and got active. I owe that to myself, my husband, my future kids and the rest of my family. I owe it to myself. 

 

So for all you people who complain and get pissed off because you're tired of seeing people who are HAPPY WITH THEIR BODIES show it off, you can plant a nice big one on my behind. DO something about it. Don't just complain. 

 

I did something about it, and I'm happier than I've ever been. No, I haven't made it to my goal yet, but I'm a lot closer than I was when I was sitting on the computer complaining and feeling bad and angry at myself.

 

It's YOUR life, make the right choices.
