Telling friends and family about my goals has always been hard, especially because I've been dieting since I was twelve. Ever since I started this crazy journey I have dreamed and wished and talked about how one day I will be healthy, or one day I will fit into that dress. And when I explain it like that, this journey becomes all about how I look, and then I beat myself up when my dreams don't fit reality and quit. And that is not what I want it to be about. I want people to respect and love me for who I am right now and hopefully once they see the true me, they can in full support give me the help I need to reach a healthier mental state which will come through exercise and good nutrition. I want the weight loss to be a side effect. I want to learn to love myself in my own skin, for me and me only, not for anyone else. And to me, that is the hardest part.
So this week I've been running
I run for me
I run for strength
I run for fun!
I run for stress relief
I run because I'm scared
I run because I know that even though this seems impossible I have to do something and hopefully something today will be easier tomorrow.
