Stupid and Contagious
I am my biggest critic. I used to be different. I used to look in the mirror and think I looked good. Now, I look in the mirror and see a chunky girl who is uncomfortable in her own skin. How did that happen? I've been working out... sort of. It's not like I've been going to a gym, I just do stuff in my living room. I like to jog but I fell off my mom's porch a few weeks ago and am still having pain so it's not as enjoyable as it used to be. I tend to be the type of person that works out till I'm in so much pain I can hardly stand it. I guess it's a type of self mutilation without breaking the skin. It makes me feel better to work out till I hurt. Right now, I weigh more than I did a month after Jasmine was born. I didn't work out that whole month, I did nothing but sleep. Here I am two years later and I've been working out and I'm not losing any weight. I would be happy if my stomach was just flat again. I'd be happy if it was as flat as it was last year. I'll probably end up in a bikini this week. *sigh* We're going on an overnight vacation and there will be a pool at the hotel. I can sit in my room and be bored or I can go with everyone else down to the pool and try my best not to be self conscious. I'm just feeling sorry for myself. I should really just get off my ass and work out and quit my bitching.

I would be willing to bet you don't look at all like you are describing. We ARE our own worst enemy when it comes to body image. Find a nice flow with the workouts, you will find them much more enjoyable and willing to stick with it longer. I hope you are feeling better about yourself soon, how is the other pain doing?
