I liked doing my Truth post so much that I went in search of something else like it and found http://punchitin.wordpress.com/. Oddly enough, her blog roll includes many of the blogs I read however I had never visited this blog until I found it through google the most amazing tool ever created. I am all about stealing off other blogs new things so here we have 30 days of truth. Which is more like 30 weeks of truth since I plan to only post once a week. Actually, there is no plan outside of the fact that when I feel like it, I will post a Day of Truth. Cause the truth is, I wanted to post this weeks ago. I didn’t get to be President of the procrastination club by doing things in a timely manner, that is for sure!
And thus it begins…
Day 1: Something you hate about yourself
The truth is, I don’t truly hate anything about myself. Hate is a strong word. But I don’t let myself off the hook that easy…there are a few things I dislike:
I dislike my low fuse…I tend to let really little things bother me. And the fact that they bother me, bothers me. I cannot stand when I know I have flipped out over something stupid, especially when it is happening and I cannot stop it even if I want to. This is something I have been working on and will continue to work on throughout 2011.
I dislike my disdain for change…I am a creature of habit. I like everything a certain way. I struggle with change. Change of plans, change of heart…change of any kind.
I dislike how much pressure I put on myself…I suppose if you read this blog you are already aware of the fact that I pressure myself. I put such an insane amount of this pressure on myself that I have literally made myself sick over it before.
I dislike that I am short. You would think after 29 years I would be over it. You would think, since I’ll be short the rest of my life, I would have come to terms with it. Nope. Still dislike the shortness!
I would love it if you all commented a little truth about yourselves…either here, or if you are interested in challenging yourself to the same project. What do you hate (or dislike) about yourself?

I don’t think I can take on a project of this magnitude on a daily basis, but I love that you are. This is a great idea. I really don’t hate anything about myself either, but I will take your idea of dislikes. I dislike that I am dependent on the approval of others, whether it be my wife, boss, dog or anybody else. I continually want to please them and make sure I’m viewed in a positive light, almost to a fault.
Hey, how did I miss this!
The short thing cracked me up! The only time being short bothers me is when I need to get a chair to pick something off a shelf that’s too high… ANNOYING! I also wonder how different the world looks if you are 6’10’ or something.
I love this! I might try to do something like that but I already feel backlogged on my blog as it is.
Things I dislike about myself:
My face gets CRAZY RED when I work out… or am in the sun/heat/humidity and it’s usually not sunburn because I wear spf. But everyone comments about how “sunburnt” I am. Annoying to have people tell you that all the time.
I don’t hate anything about myself either, don’t like the word hate.
I dislike my tummy. I’m quite happy with the rest of my body but this balloon is always bothering me.
I dislike it that I have discipline to do a lot of things but not when it comes to eating less.
Thanks for the bloggy love. 🙂 Another thing I dislike about myself is that I loathe confrontation and sometimes it leads to my own unhappiness. Like, there have been times when I know I should address a situation that’s bothering me with the person who is causing the situation, but (apparently) I would rather sit around and let my rage stew under the surface. It’s awesome, really. 😉
I love that you said there’s nothing you hate about yourself! I dislike that I can’t cook. It gets in the way of the whole healthy training thing…
I dislike my teeth… they’re crooked and I get after myself for not wearing my retainer as religiously as I should have after getting braces off!
I dislike how I doubt and discredit myself, but I’m not entirely sure how to fully engage self-confidence!
Like Kandi mentioned, I hate how red my skin gets. If I blush, it stays red for hours. I get really red when I exercise. And if I haven’t even enough I flush and it lingers.
You’re so right though, hate is such a strong word. I’m glad you can’t bring yourself to apply it to your feelings toward yourself.
Being a 5’1″ member of the short club myself, I can relate. This is where 6’4″ Husband really comes in handy. Every time I say, “Husband, come here. I need you.” His reply is usually, “What do you need me to reach now?” Ha!
Something I dislike about myself…..how easily I can talk myself out of doing something and how mad I get with myself for letting myself get talked out of it. Grr!
You are hate is such a strong word. I used to hate my hips, I guess I just dislike them now. I wish they weren’t so disproportional but I am coming to terms with my legs and hips and seeing them as part of myself and accepting them. I think that is about it.
I dislike that sometimes I don’t speak up for myself. I am getting better but it has taken me years.
I generally dislike my weight.
I dislike myself when I am tired because I get so grumpy.
I hate getting old…
I liked the first paragraph or so justifying why you were making this weekly/whenever you felt like it 😉
Get some hooker heels, shawty.
I dislike that I hold grudges easily/for too long. I dislike how I have such a “save money” mindset that I feel guilty whenever I spend any.

What a great topic. I think that I dislike that I always catch a “grass is greener” virus. It makes me always strive for more but makes me perpetually unhappy with what I have.
