Maybe this isn’t so much a self realization as it is a reminder on what I need to do to feel good about myself. I have recently been on a hiatus from the gym the past two months, mainly due to back issues. Then, of course, it was reasons to not exercise instead of pushing myself to do it. This week I finally got off my ass and really started getting back into things.
I have realized that it isn’t so much watching what I am eating that makes me feel better, it is being active. Even after a couple of days of exercising I am noticing that my mood is lots better and I don’t seem to be concerned with my body image too much. It always amazes me what our bodies are capable of and how we can push ourselves to move farther ahead physically. I know as long as I am active my mood and body image will definitely improve.
