Thoughts I’ve thought and questions I’ve asked myself today:
- It would be so much easier to be fat.
- I’m fat.
- I look disgusting.
- My stomach makes me want to cry.
- I’d rather cry at my stomach than do something about it.
- I should run.
- I don’t want to run.
- I’m so glad I signed up for spin class just so I could skip it so that I could run.
- I’ll probably skip my run.
- I wonder what would happen if I literally slept all day.
- Maybe I should do a search on “natural” anti-depressants.
- You’re not depressed, you just want an easy out.
- You seriously just considered taking a pill instead of running.
- You idiot.
- I’ll just play one more game of solitaire.
- How can I call myself a “healthy living blogger”?
- I’m not healthy.
- I’m barely existing, let alone living.
- I’ll feel like a fraud if I go to Fitbloggin next year.
- I wish this headache would go away.
- I should shower. It’s been a few days.
- Why do you always do this to yourself?
- Running 12 races in 12 months didn’t do what I hoped it would.
- I have absolutely no love for exercising.
- I just want there to be an easy way out.
- You should stop giving advice and encouragement. You don’t deserve to.
mkay first off {{{{hugs}}}} i don’t care if you are a hugger or not. you’re getting one. so there.
secondly you need a shower. i promise. but you need to exercise first. go for that run. then shower. your husband and kids will thank you (on both accounts).
thirdly you’re not thinking/saying/blogging anything that the rest of us haven’t felt before.
fourthly love you. time to accept how awesome you are.
Yep, hugs. Whether you like them or not. You are normal. It’s the ebb and flow of life, T. Seriously. You know this. So, take Brooke’s advice. Go for that run. The endorphins will be good if not great. Then shower. Then do something for *you*. Love you, Thea. Hang in there.
*hugz*
I have days like this too. You are not a failure or hypocrite.
Thank you for sharing an honest side that we all go through off days and sometimes feel like giving up…
Hang in there
I swear to God you are in my head. I love you.
You can’t be amazing every day. Well, you could, but then I would probably hate you. So maybe you don’t feel like running or exercising… take a walk. You will feel refreshed, I know it. Then shower that skank ass and take a nap.
xoxo
I think that first thought sometimes too but then I see obese people and think how hard some things in life must be for them.
We all have these thoughts and days. And you are NOT a fraud. AT all. You are awesome!! xoxo
Count me amongst the huggers and lovers. Did you run?!
Okay, I’m going to go against Lissa (just this once) and say that you *are* amazing every day. And this post proves it. You are honest and that kicks “perfect’s” ass any day of the week. I’d rather hear you say it is hard to workout than say how easy it is. That would be lame. Are you are SO not lame.
You’re getting lots of ((hugs)) here, whether you like it or not. There is so much self doubt that creeps in – it’s totally normal and you just need to tell that little b*tch to STFU. Love you.
What? You’re not a hugger? These girls don’t know you like I do…or I’m just pushy. LOL Love you and I know those kinds of thoughts all too well. I haven’t run in a week and I’m supposed to do my first half in less than 3 months. Have I mentioned I can’t get past 6 miles without hurting something? Waaaaaahhhh!! Just wanted to make you feel better…and normal…well, that would assume that I’M normal…You get my drift.
Amazingly, I understood that.
Ok..so I’m late to the hugging party but I want in…You are totally normal and I love you for being honest! I’ve been sitting around here thinking most of what you just wrote and said. Thanks for being you and helping me feel a bit more like a regular person! Love you!
