Hey guys!
So in my neck of the woods (if that's how you say it), my friends and I have been getting ready for our trip to California with our church. And what I mean by "getting ready" is what to wear to the party that the church is hosting. Now let me tell you, there is so much fuss about what jeans to wear, which shoes would look best, and whether or not you should wear a colorful top or not. Plus, OF COURSE you have to try and eat healthier and exercise before this trip otherwise you'll feel fat.
Hold up!
Why can't I just enjoy going on a trip to California with my friends and not worry about that little bit of stomach fat? If I'm worrying about all these things, why am I even going? Because so far, all this trip has done for me is given me stress.
About twenty minutes ago, I had a realization. There I was, walking downstairs in my home, getting my exercise shoes to go on the elliptical at 11pm and thinking about what I ate today.
THEN I thought,
I wonder how many of those poor girls going to this stupid party are worrying about the need to look good for the party at this very moment, because I am!
You see, I am so sick and tired of living my life worrying about what people think about me.
So what if I wear the same heels that I've worn for years?
So what if I end up just wearing flat sandals INSTEAD of heels? *gasp!*
SO WHAT if I have a little bit of fat on me?
WHO CARES.
me, apparently. ;)
Anyway, I'm not saying that trying to lose weight and exercise and eat healthy is bad. In fact, it's great.
But I don't want to feel better about myself only if others think I have a good body.
I want to feel good about myself if I treat others with kindness and help them up when they need encouragement (which I need to do more often to say the least).
Do you know what I mean?
In conclusion,
during this trip, I am going to just be myself. That is such a relief! I literally had a sigh of relief when I typed that out hahaha.
I am going to keep exercising and try to find a decent outfit, but I would rather be confident in myself and BE myself in a decent outfit than not enjoy myself but look "hot."
This post is a little scatterbrained, but either way,
I hope I helped! :D
Have a great day! Keep moving forward, and DON"T GIVE UP.
