Hi fbf, I have really been struggling today! It seems that no matter how much I know that I am living a healthy lifestyle somehow I always seem to convince myself that Iām unhealthy, unattractive, āloosing controlā, that Iām not doing enough. Does anyone else get this? It also always seems to happen on rest days. Honestly thatās the real reason Iāve been trying to workout 6 days a week because Iām scared of my self saboteur š°. Rest day 1 is ok coz I know I gotta heal from my hard work but then on rest day 2 the devil on my shoulder is screaming at me saying āwhat the f*** you think youāre doing you lazy b****!ā. These thoughts also drive me to do crazy over obsessive stuff too like writing f***ing meal plans, watching what I eat, hyper analysing my workout routine etc!! Although I guess Iām pretty Impatient too... My goal is to gain more muscle mass and I understand that it takes both TIME, DISCIPLINE and DEDICATION to achieve that goal but sometimes it feels so slow that itās almost as if Iām making no progress.
I guess they do say fitness is a marathon not a sprint... I hear it, but itās hard to hear sometimes....
Iām just gonna go to sleep early tonight and get over it.
Thanks for being open ears (well eyes) to my problems x
Rest day guilt and disordered mindset
