Memo To Myself

[ladysprite]

Dear Brain:

You can either
A: Whine incessantly at me about how overweight we are, or
B: Whine incessantly at me about how annoying it is that our new Size 2 jeans don't fit because they're too baggy at the waist.

Choose one. You don't get to have it both ways; they just don't share a reality. And the jeans are a lot more objective.

I don't know about you, but I'm going to go put on a tight sweater and some lipgloss and enjoy a Good Hair Day while it's happening.

Love,
The Girl In The Mirror

Excellent way to handle this. I know what it feels like when your psyche plays these tricks. In Jazz class on Tuesday I had to repeatedly argue with my inner thoughts that seemed determined to make me ashamed of my ability, size, and performance. It doesn't make the inner thoughts go away completely, but it helped me get through it, and I'm glad I did.
