When I got home, I did my fb thing, had coffee & breakfast, treated my houseplants to some preening and decided it's time to get ready for the day's adventure.
As I exited the shower, I glanced at myself in the mirror...ugh or more appropriately ugly! Pig nose has returned, I hate the pig nose! Geez, how ugly can one get? Well yesterday I didn't think I could get any uglier.
I persisted and continued to try to lessen the uglies, reapplied the eyebrows (hmmm... do they look symetrical or like two different brows?...oh who cares?), added a bit of eye make up and blew out the hair... stared in the mirror and thought, bad day...bad day... oh well.
Went to the room and started to try on clothes for my day's adventure...omg, I can get uglier...either a fairy came in overnight and shrunk my clothes or I am just bigger....damn those fairies! No I know why nothing fits right. I tried on a beautiful sweater and it was tight. Starting lecturing to myself about how nice this sweater was, how expensive it was and how nice it would look on a smaller figure...then the light bulb went off!
My epiphany to 'Quit your bellyaching' and get on with it. Who's to blame for those tight pants? Fairies, no although I'd love to blame them...it's me. I began to think positive thoughts and get the uglies outta my head...
- Ok you've already taken your walk...you've made a step in the right direction...continue with that...you'll be that smaller figure in time.
- Ok, put on something that
fitshides this muffin top... gotta love Spanx with lace trim. - Ok, more camo needed, put a sweater over the 'secret'.
- Alright, now top it all off with a loose coat.
Well, you ask, did I pull it off? Did I get outta the uglies?
Tell you the truth, I have no idea but the good news is...
I didn't have to look at me and not a soul ran away as they looked at me!
So I guess I wasn't as ugly as I felt.
Today will be better... maybe I will be half as ugly today as I was yesterday...
pretty high goal...ok, let's shoot for 1/10. Color me beautiful! LOL
Happy Sunday, enjoy!
P.S. (In some parts of the country, muffin tops = love handles!)
If you didn't see you..didn't know what you looked like..if it didn't matter..would your day/week/life be better? Well...?? You are not what your reflection in the mirror shows..it who you are inside that make you beautiful. And when YOU beleive you are beautiful..YOU ARE! As far as your eating plan..I saw a good sien on The Biggest Looser (which I don't ever normally watch..) that said "Get up and finish what you started"..I love that..no excuses..no incriminations..just get up and finish what you started..WE CAN DO THIS..you and me..2 beautiful friends..one beautiful goal..to show the world our outsides match your insides..
ReplyDeleteHUGS to you:-)
Oh Colleen, I know beauty is only skin deep and it's what's on the inside that counts...but some days it's easier to feel & look good about oneself.
ReplyDeleteThank you for your kind words of encouragement and I do plan on finishing what I started... but it's a challenge, a really big challenge.
Ah, yes. Had a similar day yesterday. Can't stand to look at myself in the mirror, and I'm too darn lazy to anything about it. I sometimes think I'm trying to commit suiside by eating myself to death.
ReplyDeleteFor what it's worth, I think you're beautiful.
I thank you for your kind words MK but can I take them seriously from someone trying to commit suicide by eating himself to death?
ReplyDeleteJust kidding about the suicide thing...serious about the kind words.
Likewise. ;-)
