Why Do You Think You Suck So Much?

I haven't written in a couple of weeks cause seriously what is there to write about? The insanity that is gripping our country on all sides? Yep. But seriously I don't want to write about it. So I won't. That's the best part about not being in school anymore. I can stop writing whenever I w
I've hit 70 pounds of weight lost since January 2019. It's pretty awesome but I've still got like 50 to go. The good news is I can actually pat myself on the back now. All these t-shirts that I love are now fitting me and actually looking good. It's fantastic but that's pretty much all I wear now. Which is awesome.
I've hit a plateau the last few weeks and it's frustrating at times. I'm losing inches but no weight. That's probably a good thing but I've decided that going to youtube for answers is a mistake. The reason? Most of these physical trainers are jerks and d-bags. They're the type of people in high school that you couldn't stand. Every video that comes up has a list of 5 things that you should be doing for any particular topic, and then it usually says "You're probably doing this wrong". That drives me insane. The thing is everyone says this is the right way to exercise or to eat but it all contradicts each other and each one is designed to make you feel like you're an idiot who just can't understand weight loss or fitness like they do. It's the reason I hated The Biggest Loser. For ratings they'd have these serious discussions that would basically be, "Why do you think you suck so much? Seriously how did you become such a fat load?" It would drive me insane. I'm fat cause I like cheeseburgers and cookies and I didn't want to limit myself to one. I'm fixing that now and feeling really good so quit telling me how much I'm doing wrong and how much you're doing right. I get that they're passionate but be passionate without being a d-bag. Quit telling me what I'm doing wrong. I guess I could stop looking at the videos on youtube but I'd rather rant about it.
It's certainly hasn't been an easy journey. With all the time on my hands I'm working out twice a day now which is fantastic. I highly recommend DDP Yoga, especially if you have back issues. Next month will be 3 years since I started having sciatica. It really really sucks. However it has gotten so much better since I started doing yoga and losing weight. I've done cortisone shots, physical therapy, chiropractors, acupuncture and ozone therapy and the only thing that has made me feel consistently better long term is yoga and weight loss. It's nice not to be in pain every second of every day. If you have any pain like that I'd highly recommend it. The thing I love about it is you start at your level. I think the reason most people say they don't like yoga is they start off in a class that's above their skill level and it's way too hard. You start at the beginning and work up to the more advanced stuff. I just started to really be able to do down dog the other day, and this was after months of building up the muscles. I'm totally OK with that because I started at my own level and worked my way up to this point. I plan on moving forward. As I've strengthened the back muscles and dropped weight I've felt the pain go away more and more. It still hurts, just not as frequently and not as long. It's awesome.

Thanks for reading. Now that things are a little more positive I'll get to ranting about ridiculous things again.
