a fat day
 

I'm having a fat day.
I've been unable to go to the gym for a couple weeks now because I got hit by a car and messed up my hip really badly.
I tried to go last week and it near killed me with pain.
Last night a couple girlfriends and I went for a tiny walk and played a sloppy game of volleyball, and again, my hip is KILLING me. I could barely get out of bed this morning the pain was so intense.

SO, partly because of that, I'm having a fat day. I look in the mirror and I just see fatfatfat

I have a "date" tonight and I'm sooo tempted to just cancel it. It's not actually a DATE date, it's just a get together for coffee type thing, and I don't want to go because I feel revolting. Only thing is, his phone is broken so I have to wait for HIM to call ME. Blah.

Somebody smack me out of this funk I'm in?

I am sorry you got hit by a car (ouch!) and I am sorry you are having a down day. Keep your head up, sunshine :D I won't smack you but I will give you :hug:

haha thanks
I think I really do need a smack though :P

hit by a car, oh my! you know what, when I have one of those fat days, I fake self confidence (fake it till you make it). I always remember that other people's perception of me is completely different of how I view myself (we are usually extremely harder on ourselves). hope this helps :hug:

Thanks. I'm trying to fake it but I'm just too grumpy. I need to snap out of it!

ok, I may be too late but I say....
Go take a shower, start the day over, fix your hair and makeup, put on something you feel good in and go have coffee.
You will be glad you did!:coffee:

Tomorrow will be better! :hug:

This may be a dumb question, but have you seen a doctor? If not, please go see one. An untreated injury could mean problems for a long time. And if you did see a doc, and you're still having so much pain, perhaps go back. It could be that they missed something!

Jessica, I'm so sorry to hear about your accident and your hip pain. I hope you find relief soon. For now, just do what you can. Don't push yourself. Your body needs time to heal. These things take a bit of time.

I ditto JayEl - did you see a doctor? If you're still having so much pain after a couple days, you might have fractured something. At least you'd get good pain meds! (bad! bad! that's bad!)

Exercise is such a good motivator for eating right, I know you're probably going through a hard time stay on plan. Just be kind to yourself.

And uh, tell us how the date went. Some of us have to live varcariously!

oop .. vicariously
