Chapters

Stop being such an asshole to yourself. You're beating yourself up for not being perfect on your diet for one day. You're beating yourself up for missing one workout or just not having the best workout that you've ever had. Listen, you're never going to be perfect and you wouldn't expect anybody else in your life to be perfect on anything. And yet you're setting this expectation for yourself to be perfect with your fitness, knowing that you'll never hit that, but yet beating yourself up when you don't hit it, and it's the reason you're not seeing any progress. You'd never treat anybody else the way you're treating yourself, so stop fucking doing it. It's one thing to hold yourself accountable. That's fine. It's an entirely different thing to be a total asshole to yourself. Stop doing that. It's not going to get you any closer to where you want to be. Get rid of the guilt, get rid of the shame, and just keep moving forward. Got it?
