Sometimes we lose the faith in ourselves. We forget that we are capable...strong...powerful...
We set ourselves up to fail by not thinking that we can accomplish things that are possible. I struggle with this all.the.time. With weight loss, my goals just seem so far away. Setting smaller goals just seems pointless because it's barely a dent in the big scheme of things. I get trapped in that mindset of "Well this is never going to happen." Of course I struggle with the self-confidence in other aspects of my life too, but weight loss, body image, and those kinds of things are the biggest part...I think!
And the crazy thing is that I know the quote is true:
"Whether you think you can or think you can't, you are right"
I KNOW this....I know the power of confidence. I see confident people all the time and I'm just in awe. Like, seriously. I think - this is an amazingly awesome person - and I envy that! I'm amazed that they can just not give 2 cares about what anyone thinks....that someone with a similar body shape to mine can be comfortable wearing something I never would....that people aren't afraid to take a chance... Now I'm not saying that I have zero confidence - I have some. I have stepped out of my comfort zone a lot in recent years. I've grown. I've took some chances. But I still lack a lot. I need to figure out how to not hold myself back. Positive affirmations...I don't know... SOMETHING! Deep down inside I know I am capable. I know that I can reach my goals. I've got a long way to go, but I'll get there. <3
Anyhow - enough of that. I'm up today. Last week I totally blew WW. I sucked. I used Kelly's vacation as a vacation for myself... it wasn't good. So I'm up. Owning it and moving forward. Back to tracking. We've got this BeachBody OnDemand subscription still so I think I'm going to try to commit to at least one of the workout programs.
If anyone wants to join me in just some accountability even just via texting - let me know! I know I can use it....just someone else to hold me accountable - make me check in with each day :) You know me...I hate letting people down and disappointing them.. Another lovely character flaw of myself - caring too much what other people think!! But I'm doing this for me! Just want to not cringe when I see pics of myself...to not be out of breath from climbing stairs...to not fear having to face certain challenges.
I am strong... I am capable.. I will do it.. I believe in me!
If I say it enough, it'll become natural, right?! Love ya guys!
xoxo
Katie
