Trying to lose it without the hangups

Ok, so I’ve put on a few. Just through a little too much yummy food and not enough running, I’ve decided I want to lose some weight to show off the amazing muscle I’m building through a daily yoga practice.

I have a long history with unhealthy thoughts about my body and unhealthy weight loss, but this time I’m trying to do it without all the hangups. The negative thoughts about my body? Not allowed. The excuses? Not allowed. The constant planning and obsessing about what I’m doing and how? Not allowed. Not part of it.

May be a little un-yogic of me to count calories, but I’m trying to do it in a sensible way that won’t take over my entire life. I have to constantly remind myself to hold back, to not obsess, and to just plain chill the fuck out…but I’m doing it.

Hopefully it’ll be better for my body AND my mind.
