Traveling While Overweight: An Emotional Struggle

I haven't been overweight in decades and I am humbled for sure.

Let me be clear: Who I am, and my worth isn't determined by the size of my dress or my physical attributes. However, I am human, and I miss feeling good in my skin 

As I pack, I realize I have been hiding in my house in the same tights and t shirts and wow, I can't fit a single thing. 

What I did:

  1. Ordered flowy clothes from Amazon with overnight delivery (not proud, but hey...)
  2. Went into the mirror and said 3 kind things to myself about my body (I have strong legs, my hair is shiny, my body has been with me my entire life and for that I am grateful)
  3. Accepted that traveling overweight and in the summer heat will be more difficult so I need to put extra travel time in

Motivation

  1. This trip. This summer have motivated me to start a new fitness/ food plan when I get back home. 
  2. I can still take care of myself (do my hair, put on perfume, dress up a tad even though I am heavy)
  3. Treating myself well IS the cure. The answer lies in my ability to love myself right here, right now 

Coffee is done. Time to do a meditation, have a hot shower, and focus on positive vibes. I'll do my best to post while I am out of town to keep myself somewhat accountable.

Thanks for reading my daily diary entry :)
