Love, Yourself (March)

Tweet

Dear Jia,

A year ago you got angry. The good kind of angry that should have motivated you, and did for a while, but you stopped being angry, stopped being motivated, and you let the OCD, the depression, and the weight win.

You did gain some motivation. You started really thinking about health goals. You even joined a weight loss competition! But you didn't follow through. So let's try and follow through this year.

This month you weighed 246 pounds and you were completely addicted to soda. So much so that when you tried to quit, you ended up getting all those fantastic side effects like migraines, exhaustion and muscle pain. You used this as a major excuse to not give it up. Drink more water!

This is what you looked like in March 2010. These were your "Before" photos for the weight loss competition. You made sure they were taken at a poor angle and made yourself look extra awful because you knew that you were going to lose the weight and never look like this again. But then you gained the weight back later on. Go for a walk today (if you haven't already) and sweat enough that you forget this picture ever existed.

So take a picture of yourself today, March 2011 and post it tomorrow along with the progress you have made.

Love,

Yourself
