It's hard to be super motivated to stick to my diet when I still see a fat girl in the mirror. Don't get me wrong, I'm not tempted to deviate from my diet at all. Quite the opposite. I'm feeling really good about myself and my progress until I look in the mirror.
I also hate that everyone else still sees a fat girl when they look at me. I know that I'm eating like a skinny girl, but if you were to pass me on the street you'd have no idea that I care about what goes into my mouth. Yeah, these are the crazy thoughts that go through my head.
To try to give the fat girl in the mirror a break, I've decided not to judge my success in the short term. It took me 9-10 months to gain this weight so it will take at least that long to lose it. I'm not going to like what I see in the mirror after 10 days of improved eating. Heck, knowing me, I may not EVER like what I see in the mirror.
I guess the bottom line is I have to fight my inner-critic daily, no matter what size I am.
