I feel like I am in a bad dream. My mother is in ICU, and we have some difficult decisions ahead of us. My anxiety is right there, lingering and ready to pounce. I am fighting to be strong for my family. I hope and pray that I can be the daughter she needs me to be right now. #cancersucks #pulmonaryfibrosis #diabetes #cherishyourlovedones #cherishyourfamily #mom #barelyholdingittogether #anxiety #fear #soscared #why

There are three things that really help me manage my anxiety and stress. Exercise, music and being a goofball! 😝😜 Always be yourself and do what works for you!#noanxietytoday #anxietywarrior #fightingtobefearless #anxiety #scrapthestigma #stress #generalizedanxietydisorder #laugh #live #beyourself #beyou #beyourepic #nevergiveup #recoveryispossible

Back at it!👊🏼💪🏻🏃🏻‍♀️ 5k gym style!! I used my Apple Watch to track my distance since the stupid treadmill wiped out my initial time.😡I really dislike the fact that there is a preset 20 minutes on the machine, but there are worse tragedies in the world! Like giving up or quitting, so please never do either of those. Just keep going, keep trying, keep grinding and you will get there. You are so worth it!!! #riseandgrind #justdoit #yesyoucan #dontquitwontquit #cantquitwontquit #walk #run #crawl #chubbyrunner #fatrunner #wogging #wogger #forwardisapace #forwardisforward #onefootinfrontoftheother #fightingtogetfit #noanxietytoday #stressrelief #fightingtobefearless #ifnotnowwhen #5k #treadmill #ificandoitsocanyou #46andrunning #fatandfearless

Anybody order tickets to the GUN SHOW??!!💪🏻💪🏻😝😝 Day 2 at the gym and my arms are trembling as I type this post. I couldn’t tell you the last time I did a full upper body workout. 😬Felt great and not as bad as I had anticipated. Remember, only you can make the choice to get out there. Only you can put your goals and dreams into action. It isn’t easy and there are days that you’ll struggle, but YOU are worth it!! Every great journey begins with a single step!! Now go get it!! #beyourepic #youareworthit #yesyoucan #fightingtobefearless #chubbyrunner #fatrunner #dontquitwontquit #cantquit #youcandoit #beyourbestself #grind #noanxietytoday #anxietywarrior #ifnotnowwhen #try #fight #onefootinfrontoftheother #unafraid #gogetit #whodareswins #fightingtobefit #scrapthestigma #bigandbeautiful #formyfamily

Finally back at the gym!👊🏼❤️ I was nervous because I hadn’t been to this location before, then I remembered that I didn’t know anyone there and I don’t care what anyone thinks. 😜 I just threw my headphones on and ran. Unfortunately this didn’t capture my whole workout since there is a 20 minute preset on the machine, but I still crushed it. I plan on lifting weights tomorrow for the first time in a LONG time. Wish me luck and go out there and get it!!! Be your EPIC!!❤️❤️👊🏼👊🏼#beyourepic #gogetit #yesyoucan #runforyou #fightingtobefearless #wogging #chubbyrunner #walk #run #running #runnerscomeinallshapesandsizes #noanxietytoday #noanxiety #breathe #try #justdoit #ifnotnowwhen #anxietywarrior #anxiety #gymfear #doitforyou #fatrunner #fatandfedup #dontquitwontquit #cantquit

I am living proof that anything is possible. When your fear and doubt kicks in, when that mean person inside your head tells you it’s impossible or you won’t ever do it, DON’T LISTEN!! You can do it. Whatever it is, whatever you want to accomplish, just get out and try. Doubt and fear kill more dreams than failure ever could. I truly believed running a 5k was impossible for me. At one point, I believed I couldn’t run 7 minutes straight. Here I am in my forties and at my heaviest weight ever, and I’ve run over 14 5Ks and one 10K since O started the couch to 5k program over a year and a half ago. I’m not the fastest, but I never quit. I believe in you. Now go out there and cross your finish line!!❤️💪🏻👊🏼#chubbyrunner #wogging #onefootinfrontoftheother #cantquitwontquit #dontquit #yesyoucan #noanxietytoday #scrapthestigma #fightingtobefearless #neverquit #beyourepic #live #laugh #love #fight #believe #havefaithinyourself

Pancake Run 5k. 🏃🏻‍♀️🥞It’s my first live race this year and I have to say, it felt great. I was nervous because I hadn’t trained at all, I haven’t been able to run since December due to illness and I’m generally nervous when I don’t know the course or what to expect. So I didn’t set a timer, I stretched and centered myself, then I went out there to have fun, and have fun I did. 😝 I came in at about 47 minutes and felt amazing crossing that finish line. So when you start to doubt yourself or worry about your pace or finishing time, don’t. Just get out there and have fun!! Believe in yourself and just keep moving and smiling!!❤️👊🏼🥞🏃🏻‍♀️#cantstopwontstop #dontquitwontquit #run #walk #wogging #chubbyrunner #46andmoving #justkeepmoving #onefootinfrontoftheother #noanxietytoday #fightingtobefearless #bfearless #jogging #pancakerun2018

Time to talk day 2018! There are too many people who suffer in silence due to the stigma that surrounds mental health issues. I hid my anxiety for over 25 years for fear of judgement and the belief that there was something wrong with me. Talking about my anxiety and sharing my story with others was greatly beneficial I my recovery process. When I find myself on the edge of spiraling, I reach outtalk to someone and it does help. If you are reading this, please know that you are not alone and please know that it is more than ok to talk about mental health issues. Together we all make a difference.❤️❤️ #timetotalk #timetotalkday #generalizedanxietydisorder #mentalhealth #behavioralhealth #mentalhealthawareness #talk #share #openconversation #screenprinting #noanxietytoday #anxietywarrior #anxiety

Broken but still standing. Sometimes it seems like nothing goes right and that life is beating you down, but the bad days will pass. Just remember, we can’t control what life gives us, but we can choose how we react to it. A large part of my anxiety is rooted in having control. When I finally accepted that I can’t control everything(which I still work on daily) things got a lot better. So face the storm and give it all you’ve got, for strength comes through struggle.❤️ #stillstanding #brokennotbeaten #noanxietytoday #fightingtobefearless #anxiety #nocontrol #scrapthestigma #live #laugh #love #beyourepic #beyou #fightthestorm #strengththroughstruggle

46 and no filter. 😬There, I said it. Sometimes we get hung up on numbers, like age and the scale, sizes and dollars. As the years go by, you really learn what’s important. Family, friendships, your health and that of those you love. My point?? Don’t worry about the numbers, the best things like hugs, love, smiles and kisses are free. ❤️❤️ Life is short, LIVE it!!#live #laugh #love #fightingtobefearless #hug #expressyourself #lifeisshort #badtimeswillpass #anxiety #itsokaynottobeokay #anxious #worried #positivity #perspective #noanxietytoday #ageisnothingbutanumber #bodypositive #

When you have a rough day and you’re just glad that it’s over. I know that sounds awful because time is precious, but sometimes there is only so much weight my shoulders can take. . Yesterday, I advised my son to take a different approach with a bully at school. I told him to offer to be his friend, to see if he needed a hug or just someone to talk to. It worked and he was so happy/relieved. Then today he gets punched in the face by the kid. :( My mother has to go through chemotherapy again and is worried about paying for treatment. She can’t even focus on getting better because of the financial problems that arise from having cancer. I’m fighting to stay calm and centered but it’s so hard sometimes. 😞#fightingtobefearless #tryingtostaycalm #breathe #hope #scrapthestigma #noanxiety #anxietywarrior #notcentered #breaking #cracking #holdingittogether #barelyhangingon #livetoday #cancersucks #stupidinsurance

I am an incredibly indecisive person and it really makes me feel bad. It really is one aspect of myself that I truly hate. I know that’s a strong word, but it’s the honest truth. . So that is something I am goi f to put a lot of effort into working on. Making decisions and sticking by them, regardless of the results, I will own my choices, because isn’t that what life’s all about? I can’t play it safe anymore, so here we go!!

FAILURE. FAILURE. FAILURE!!! This is what I feel like amidst the congestion, headache and chills. It screams inside my head how weak I am and how I should’ve been able to “suck it up” and “tough it out” and get my ass to the race. . I sit here utterly embarrassed and humiliated. I made such a big deal about today and crossing that finish line, and I couldn’t even get to the start line. I’m angry and defeated. Why today of all days? I had been battling this all week, keeping it at bay, and then it hits the night before my big race?? What should’ve been a great day filled with achievement and happiness is now filled with depression and regret. And living with regret sucks!! . Then the mean girl inside me keeps laughing and telling me she knew I couldn’t do it. She knew I would fail. I really cannot put her in her place because I do agree with her. I couldn’t do it and I did fail. Sometimes I wonder about my luck. 😞#broken #disappointed #embarrassed #defeated #anxiety #depression #selfhate #selfloathe #feelingdefeated #why #sick #selfbullying #flu #cold #coveryourmouth #ihategerms #anxious #hiding #epicfail #failure
