i’ll shred your face off

August 18, 2009 | body image, weight loss

Well it seems to be that time again. You know every couple months when I have a bit of a meltdown about my body. Yeah, that time.

After seeing pictures of myself that have popped up from BlogHer and other events, watching a show full of hot bitches take off their clothes and some photos of something else that bothered me, it’s time to crack down.

Seriously.

SERIOUSLY.

When I look in the mirror I don’t see it but when photos and video roll around, I get embarrassed. How could I have let myself wear that or sit like that? Or fuck, I really look that bad?

So yes, it’s time to get things moving again. I’ll be starting the Shred again and taking more long walks with the pup. Heavily restricting my food intake, lots more water and all that good stuff.

I’m ready to see the numbers drop and some changes. For good.

If you need me I’ll be in front of my tv crucio-ing Jillian Michaels.

That bitch.

Good for you, girl! I wish I was as motivated as you…
.-= Taylor´s last blog ..Everything is Beautiful =-.

I really want to say “You’re fine the way you are” – which you totally are. I realize however that you need to be happy with you, and I’m behind you every step of the way.

Work it, hot stuff
.-= Katie´s last blog ..20sb Vlog Day =-.

I went through all my photos last night. It was like three years of me getting fatter.
.-= Ben´s last blog ..20SB Vlog Day with 40mins to spare =-.

I’m interested in trying the Shred, but I’m afraid I’ll pull every muscle in my body. You’re a brave soul.
.-= Lindsay´s last blog ..Family Reunion =-.

I totally know what you mean. Every time my boyfriend tells me I’m beautiful, I’m like “what the hell are you smoking? Are your eyes closed?” So yeah, I’m definitely trying to lose some poundage as well. I have been training for a bike ride, so I am definitely more physically active but I also need to work on my eating. We’ll get there.
.-= Allison Blass´s last blog ..#324 =-.

I need to start the Shred again too. Sigh. If only I didn’t hit snooze 3 times in the morning.

And I LOVED the HP reference. Nice touch.
.-= Lacey Bean´s last blog ..The many uses of Post-It Notes =-.

Good timing. I totally need to kick my ass back into gear whether it’s shreds, yoga, or running. MOTIVATION, here we go!
.-= Doni´s last blog ..How to Kiss These Stars =-.

i shred sometimes…level 3 is hardcore!! jillian drives me crazy though…

Jillian is definitely a bitch.

Body Images = suck.

Jamie= awesomely motivated person who I’m jealous of! (And who really is lovely in every sense of the word)
.-= Nora´s last blog ..Lilies & Love Giveaway =-.

I always think I look bad in pictures, but that doesn’t mean I look bad in real life. Don’t trust pictures! Trust yourself. You’re a beautiful person.
.-= Kitty´s last blog ..Academia: Because We’re Smarter than You =-.

The Shred kicked my ass! And then I went and baked a wedding cake that I ate a lot of. Oops? I need to get back on that…
.-= Monica´s last blog ..naming pets after androids =-.

I heard the work out is killer, yet work like a miracle. Good luck, Jamie!

Love the geekyness. Total win. And good luck!! I have the Shred…need to get around to making room in my living room to actually do it.

Maybe tomorrow…..or this weekend….
.-= Mrs Soup´s last blog ..Cupcakes! =-.

Good luck!

I have to attend an event with the boy. An event where I’ll have to wear a sari. Do you know how much stomach those things show?! I’m starting the crunches tonight.
.-= Lauren´s last blog ..Book Review: Mortal Friends =-.

I can really relate to all of this, particularly the part about not Seeing It until someone posts pictures of me on Facebook or something. You know how anorexics supposedly look at themselves in the mirror and see a whale instead of a rail-thin slip of a human? I have that, but the opposite.

Seriously, you go girl. Everyone here believes you can do it!
.-= meloogal´s last blog ..And you look like one too =-.

Good luck Jamie! I know how hard it can be keeping the motivation up. It’s why I’ve only ever succeeded in one diet/fitness plan in my entire life and spent the rest of my life failing at it.
.-= Paula´s last blog ..CHEER-ME-UP TUESDAY =-.

I love your use of crucio as a verb. I do it all the time now, and I always think of you!
.-= Erin´s last blog ..Speechless =-.

I’m not sure about what pictures you’re talking about, but one thing I’ve noticed (that I’m applying to myself) is that just standing up straight will help TONS!

I watch these skinny models look like trash because they don’t stand up straight any other time. I look about ten-twenty pounds heavier when I slump over. Plus it requires work for you the stand up straight.

Something to think about, and I have NO IDEA if that’s a problem for you. Just I’ve noticed a lot of people look better if that is the case.
.-= April´s last blog ..To-Do List =-.

Jillian Michaels is the shit… too bad I don’t follow her system. I really need to get things in order too! UGH
.-= Reeder’s Corner´s last blog ..Wanna Play a Game?!? =-.

I’m so down about my weight right now too. I have been going to the gym everyday and I am frustrated by the lack of results.

It is very annoying.
.-= Liz ´s last blog .."You’re so economical!" =-.

I’ve said it before & I’ll say it again let’s keep each other in line.

and next time we go to the the cheesecake factory let’s share our food
.-= Maggie´s last blog ..Velika Gospa and Embracing My Heritage =-.

Everyone loves Jillian and her shredding…maybe I should try it.

ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. JAMIE you took the words right out of my mouth! i think im going to start up the shred again this week. i’m tired of these body breakdowns….
.-= alexa – cleveland’s a plum´s last blog ..i need a pep talk =-.

I think pretty much every girl in the world has felt like this at some point.
We wouldn’t be female without our crushing insecurities!

For example, I have to wear children’s bras because they don’t make normal bras in AAAA. I was nicknamed “mosquito bites” because my boobs are so small (I wear a padded Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen Bra!) Also, I have the UGLIEST feet in the world. I am attending a wedding this weekend and the bride has specifically asked me to wear close-toed shoes. Like you, most of the time these things don’t bother me very much, but every now and again, they rear their ugly head and send me into a spiral of self-loathing.

Keep your chin up – you are never alone

You look beautiful and don’t think you need to change anything about yourself. But I definitely understand… you want to feel and look beautiful for YOURSELF not for others.
