I'm not really a self-hater. I'm obnoxiously confident and happy with myself. That said, there are somethings that I don't love about myself. Physically, my tummy has seen better days. The pre-baby, pre-c-section, pre-too-much-beer-drinkin' days. If I could change anything about my body, I'd get that kickass 6-pack back (abs, not beer. maybe). Of course, this would be attainable if I could get my ass to the gym, but it's like, a whole mile away from my house so you can't really expect me to go there! And it smells like boy sweat.
As far as non-physical traits go, there are things that I didn't really know I didn't love until recently. I am not a very clean person, I never have been. But now as an adult, I wish I was the kind of person who could stay on top of the chores so that I didn't have to spend entire weekends making up for my week-long laziness. I am also painfully forgetful. I leave the house every morning without at least one thing that I really needed to remember. This morning it was diapers for the babysitter. And I just love having to run to the store on my lunch break to pick stuff up because I don't have time to go all the way home. Charming Husband is a BIG fan of this habit of mine. I can't tell you how many times he has said, "I'm so glad you didn't remember to pick up my dry cleaning today! I love having to wait outside at 7:00am until they open and then change into my work clothes in the car!". He is such a lucky man.
So I guess that's what I "don't love" about myself. Come back next Tuesday when I get to talk about what I love about myself. I wonder if Blogger puts a word limit on posts...
I'm doing the challenge too.
ReplyDeleteFun! I'll go check out yours then!
ReplyDeleteI also have problems with forgetting things, thanks for sharing! hugs
ReplyDeleteI can totally relate to that forgetfullness. Mine gets worse with age. If I don't write it down I probably won't remember.
ReplyDeleteOh that is an interesting thing, the 30 day challenge. Being clean isn't always a great thing, I am one of those that likes to have everything nice, neat and clean, and most of the time, I end up giving up my own "me" time just to keep the houes clean.
