Okay, this one is a toughie for me because I don’t really like to talk about this, except maybe with my best friend. I don’t like to openly admit, out loud, to others (on the Internet!) what my body hang ups are. However, this is an open, safe space and we agreed to share and just be totally honest. So, here goes nothing…
If I could change something about myself, it would be my…
…Abs.
There. I said it.
I just cringed a little.
No matter what I do, no matter how much cardio and how many crunches (and other exercises) I do, I don’t see much change. I can barely even get my muscles to feel fatigue the next day despite working myself so hard in the gym and practically falling over at the end of my workouts (I really try to push myself).
I know they say, ‘Abs are made in the kitchen, not the gym’ and so maybe it’s my own fault, as I simply cannot give up chocolate, dairy and dessert. While I eat relatively healthy, and enjoy eating healthy, I really love those small pleasures of life, and I don’t think I can fully agree they are worth giving up for a six pack. …But, it doesn’t mean I don’t long for one (a woman-ly one).
Your turn: what is your biggest body hang up?
(Photo: that is the most flattering pic I could take, and I’m still cringing).
