Cabbages & Kings

I've talked all I can talk.

Now I’m trying to walk while I talk.

I've made up some cute little poster reminders to myself and put them up around my apartment to re-enforce all my hard work and continue my accomplishments.  I actually hung up a pair of pants with a little sign on it.  These jeans are my goal.  I want to feel comfortable and look good in those jeans so I put them on display as a kick in the butt whenever I want junk food. 

These are the little messages I’ve left around my place.

Fruit and water are my friends: 
Water is so good for you…as I’ve touched on before, and fruit is so much better for you than a bag of chips or a chocolate bar and it’s more filling.  Speaking of which, I’m going to devour my pomegranate as soon as I’m done here.

Bring them beautiful collar bones out of hiding:
I used to have a beautiful neck/collarbone area but since the first year at the university they’ve gone further and further into hiding and I want to bring them back!

Grad Pictures:
I took 2 very unflattering ID pictures this summer.  Drivers licence and health card…both significant pieces of ID and my face looks huge in both of them.  I’m getting grad pictures taken this year because I’m graduating and I want to make sure I’m happy with them. 

Get Healthy:
I’m trying to get to the gym as often as I can, and trying to stay away from fried food as well as high sugar options.  Healthy heart, lungs, muscles, bones, teeth, eyes I want it all.

Love my body inside and out:
I want to be healthy emotionally as well as physically and I feel that I can achieve that by having a healthy idea of body image.  I deserve to be healthy, I deserve to choose good things to eat, I deserve to feel beautiful everyday no matter that my size or shape. 

Notice all my goals.  They are all attainable goals that keep me focused on staying active and making good choices.  I never said “I am fat” or “Loose 40 pounds” or “I need to work out every day for an hour”.  Saying those things is a great way to discourage myself, to see only failure when I haven’t met those goals, and it’s unhealthy for me to see myself as disgusting.

I love my curves, and I don’t want to loose them, I just want to lead a healthy lifestyle.

On that note, it’s time for lunch.

Nom, nom, nom!
