Obsessive much?
I realized today that I've spent WAY too much time obsessing about my body image and it has completely changed how I've been feeling about myself lately. It's made me slightly depressed to be honest. So today, no more! There's no reason for me to obsess about not having definitive abs, truthfully I never had them to begin with lol. The next 6 months or so are all about growing so that I can bring more muscle to the stage in 2012. Fat is a part of growing and as long as my ass and arms look good who cares. 
Tonight is lower body night, the first one of week 5. I want to make sure I warm up really good so my knees don't get angry at me. I'm REALLY looking forward to pushing the heavier weight. I don't think I pushed myself hard enough last leg day so my legs are in for a treat!
Have a fabulous day and lift heavy!
I'm so happy to know I'm not alone. I obsess way too much about myself too. Someone once said I should feel so proud of the changes I have made and not worry about what I feel like hasn't changed. It's so true. I have (and I know you have!) made some pretty big changes already, so just keep pushing!
ReplyDeleteHow were the first four weeks? Do you like the workouts? I love going heavy!! Good luck and have fun!
Just came across your blog and wanted to say HI! Also, totally relating to the obsession on body image. I never had issues with it UNTIL I started competing. My trainer and I discussed this just this morning. It is so hard to go from looking ripped and lean to looking "NORMAL".
ReplyDeleteProud of you! :)
