Xuraiya goal: healthy till the end of my days

so a few weeks of unsuccess have passed, and then I sort of let myself go. Lots of last minutes spent with friends and a boyfriend who is keen on trying to fatten me up, haha. Also had Senior Breakfast yesterday, in which I ate 2 sausage and cheese jalapeno kolaches, 3 or 4 donuts, a large sausage biscuit, a mini chicken biscuit with honey, and 2 smoothies. Then I felt sick afterward.
Hmm, in any case, I am fatter than I've ever been, and I feel really lethargic and sleepy all the time. Thankfully, I'm about to depart on a whirlwind tour around europe with lots, and lots, and lots of walking. So hopefully that'll be able to jumpstart me into action.
I can't keep counting on events to boost my motivation, though. It has to start with me. I have to find the drive again, the desire again, the energy again. I mean, I thought I had it today, after that dreadful senior breakfast yesterday, but I helped myself to 3 big chocolate bars (grrrrr, the boyfriend) and ice cream again today.
C'mon Sophie, you need to be able to fit into your clothes again...
Eh, don't beat yourself up over it. Honestly, this happens to ALL of us...it's called: (drumroll please...) "Becoming a Woman." At your age, it's completely NORMAL to not be able to fit stuff in the junior's department anymore. I, for example, am a plus size at 'Dots,' but a perfect size 8 at The Limited. It's simply because womens' clothes are better cut for me and fit me better now. Took me a long time to realize that and to stop trying to fit into a size 7. So, all in all, you don't need to fit into your clothes again! It's okay! Probably not the most motivating words in the universe, but still! |
good advice there. you will find the drive in yourself, hopefully sooner rather than later, but meanwhile you are absolutely right that walking all over europe will burn a lot of calories!! i think it's when you settle into a college routine that you will really have to watch it---it's hard to find really healthy food on campus, from what i read and hear. i assume you'll be in a dorm at least the first year? anyway, you are just having one big celebration right now. life will resume soon. don't worry about what's past. just keep looking to the future! |
