You’re not allowed to hate yourself...

So I can’t take credit for this; I heard it on a podcast the other day (and forgive me if it’s not exactly the quote). But this lady was feeling down about herself and her weight but she was working on dieting and working out. And so her husband implement a rule in their house where she wasn’t allowed to hate herself while she was working on bettering herself. (Obviously she shouldn’t hate herself anyways... but you get the point).

This resonated with me so much. We all have days where we feel discouraged. Maybe the scale didn’t move as much as we would have liked. Maybe we couldn’t lift as much as we wanted to, or run as far we intended. Maybe we had a cheat meal. But none of us should look at ourselves and think negatively about how we look when we know we’re working on bettering ourselves. We’re not running a sprint, we’re running an endurance race.

So if you’re feeling a little down. Or maybe you’re plateauing. No matter how slow the progress seems... Remember that you’re not allowed to hate yourself when you’re working on bettering yourself!
