To give myself some credit, I haven’t pulled out the scale. This is in an effort to not define myself by my weight.

So instead of defining myself by the numbers on the scale, I keep thinking about how I feel. And how that I feel that I look.

The only word for it is fat. I hate mirrors right now, because I look fat. I feel fat.

The grocery shopping is done. I’m ready to be exercising. I’m ready to not feel fat every day. I hate it and am dangerously close to hating me.
