Looking at my Old Self for Motivation Today
A mid-day post from the cranky one? So out of the ordinary, right? Like my eloquent friend told me — it takes breaking cycles to break out of a slump and, guys, I’m breaking free!
Looking at my Old Self for Motivation Today

Can any of you relate to the feelings I had back in ’02? What has your experience been with reading past journal entries?
Ok guys, I’m off for a mini-work-out before class. I hope you are all doing well and thriving.

Great motivational post. I don’t have a journal that I can look back onto because there was no privacy in my house whatsoever. I destroyed them all and vowed never to write one again after countless times having my privacy being invaded by snooper in my house (parents and siblings). I do look back on picture and cringe every time I see them. Deep inside, I still feel like the the chubby unattractive one. That feeling never really goes away.
I loved this video post! I definitely encourage you to do more! I think that was very insightful of you to reflect on all of that, and it seems like you’ve come a long way in all ways, especially mentally from what you said.
I think we can all benefit from looking at our old journals (and selves!) once and awhile…for so many reasons
That was a really brave post! I know if I read an old journal I would find something very similar. Being thin and pretty definitely preoccupied my every thought back in middle school (that’s when I wrote a journal) and I guess to some extent it still does. I have somehow become much happier with who I am over the years. I know that loosing some weight and finding the love of my life has contributed a lot to this, and I’m thankful for that. I hope this post/reading your old journal did in fact help you in some way, and made you realize how far you’ve come. There are many things you need to be proud of! <3
