My personal pledge has been to blog every day. Well this is my 2nd post today and I may make it Sunday's post ... I'll see how I feel tomorrow.
I reckon I have found another trigger that tends to set me off and I will not let it get the better of me! I had a relatively uneventful day. I didn't work out because I wasn't feeling the treadmill and the wind chill is too cold to run outdoors. Grocery shopping also takes on a life of its own. I have to do my whole foods run but then need to get to Target too so I can get things like cat food and other odds and ends. So it's really one trip in the morning and another in the afternoon.
When I did the Target run I stopped by Loft as they are running 40% off spring arrivals, and so I bought a couple of outfits. Well they both fit, but one is really not flattering at all and needs to be returned. I tend to mannequin shop meaning that if I like what's on the mannequin I will buy the exact outfit. Reality is certain colors and styles don't do well on me and I should know better.
The misfit outfit is a pair of railroad jeans and a floral top. I love the colors but bottom line is I never wear floral anything, ever. And light jeans are just a no no. I don't like the look on me. And so because this outfit looked terrible, and I felt bad for it, usually I would blame it on the state of my body and just go and eat ALL the wrong things in self pity because stuff it! I'll never look good anyway, right?!
Well this time I'm pushing through! Every outfit does not look good on every body. And I hate floral and light denim anyway so why would it even matter if I looked great in it. Point is I'm not going to sit here and gain 2lbs over it. In fact I'm going to take it back tomorrow and get something instead that is me and that I cannot wait to wear as I continue to stay strong.
Don't let the small things derail you!
