I definitely would not say I love my body either. I don’t have the self-discipline necessary to survive an hour gym session every night, but I certainly CAN enjoy at least six pieces of pizza in one sitting. See my problem? They say the definition of insanity is doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. This summer, my only goal was to break that vicious cycle by putting down the chocolate milkshake in favor of being able to comfortably pull my shirt off at the lake. No, one milkshake a week will not make you gain five pounds, a fact I am eternally grateful for, but I think we make ourselves mentally sick convincing ourselves it must be all or nothing.
I’m not trying to restrict myself from the pleasures of life, but which pleasure is more worth it, the milkshake every night of the week or the swim party where you feel confident now that your extra pounds are gone? That is a question only you can answer for yourself, and if your answer is to keep those milkshakes coming, GOOD FOR YOU! Enjoy every single drop of them and feel no shame! I want something different for myself now, and I am not sure what that is, but I am excited to be driving into a summer sunset where I know full well I am doing my best to focus on having the best health with self-confidence and an unshakeable self-esteem!
