Things about me that I don't like and feel that I need to do something about regarding the physical me (since I already knew I have problems mentally/emotionally that I'm working on dealing with).
1. While I'm not exactly overweight, I do feel as though I need to lose a few pounds. I just got back from vacation and I feel as though I've put on a little more weight. Also, just the fact that I'm home has probably added some. I'm usually eat pretty healthily and don't drink a lot of sodas or eat a lot of junk food. In fact, I never really have eaten a lot of junk food and sweets. It's just who I am. I do just need to start cutting back again now that I've returned from vacation.
2. This goes along with eating more healthy foods . I really need to exercise more. I love dance and try to do the Just Dance game on the Wii while I'm home. But I need to do something when I get back to Denton. I've done walking here at home before and I guess I could do that in Denton. I just feel as though I want to do something else. I also have this thing where I would rather work out with a friend. I know I can't rely on someone but I feel as though it would help motivate me and I'd like the companionship. I just need to find something I enjoy and stick with it.
3. This ties in with exercise.: I completely lack upper body strength. I'm just not very strong at all. I've never really been able to do push ups.It hasn't seemed as much of a problem before, but when we were moving me into my apartment in Denton, I struggled to move some of the furniture from the truck inside (of course I was also exhausted and it was really really hot which could have contributed). I probably should do something about it.
4. In addition, I also have really weak stomach muscles. I've never really been able to do sit ups either. I can do a few now but not really that well. I guess both the lack of upper body strength and weak stomach muscles prevented me from doing well in gymnastics back in 2nd grade. I couldn't do the bar at all. I would love for my stomach area to be a bit stronger I guess.
5. Finally (for now), my ongoing skin issues on my face. I hate it! I just want my face to be clear and smooth for once. It seems that it goes away but doesn't last long. I've tried medicines which helped. However, I stopped because the dermatologist I used to go to here in my hometown retired. I'm scheduled to go to another one in another town later next month. I've also got an appointment with one in Denton. All I know is that I'm tired of having acne and my face being oily. I just want to have a clear face and not have to struggle with this.
Those are just some of my imperfections that I'd like to do something about. I'm not saying that I hate who I am or anything. I'm not even trying to be someone I'm not. I just want to feel better about who I am and I want to show that as well.
