Sweat and Tears..

This is going to be slightly personal, but I am struggling and I know others are too. It is is hard to not look like how you want to, and to see yourself in the mirror everyday. By most peoples' standards I am fit and have a good body shape, but only I know what I feel and see in the mirror. There is an extra 30 lbs standing in the way of my happiness. My problem is that I get frustrated because I don't see instantaneous results and I give up. For the most part I eat a very clean diet and hover around 1200 calories/day and workout 5-6 days/week with weights and cardio-long cardio sessions 5 times/week. I cry myself to sleep at night wondering if it is impossible for my body to change. Its like false hope. I get on the scale it says 12 lbs lighter than last week, but the next day I am up 10 lbs again.. not sure what is happening?!

I did some reading, and it put things into perspective. I won't see results this week or next week, or maybe even next month.. it might take 2-3 months to see the change, but it will happen. If I give up now, I will never know.
I just have to keep it up... it is hard, but I suppose if it was easy, everyone would do it. I can do this.


Now that that inspiring little personal pep talk is over... here's some fun stuff. Here are my 5 favorite looks this week that I can't wait to replicate!
