Life is yours to miss @lifeisyourstomiss - Tumblr Blog

i don’t think thin people get how inherently painful it is to have a body that society hates; no matter how body positive you have become, the amount of healing you do, the love that you’ve grown for yourself– the scars are still there, the hurt is still there somewhere

I don’t really post many #transformationtuesday pictures anymore for a few reasons. There are many days when I genuinely don’t see a difference 🤷🏼‍♀️ And that frustrates the hell out of me because my rational side KNOWS I’m different - mentally and physically. So then I wonder - are these side by side physical comparisons actually hurting my self esteem, by only focusing on whether there’s visible changes or not? The person on the right now wakes up at 5:30am every day to work out before work. The person on the right meal preps every Sunday and LOVES a good cauliflower substitute. The person on the right lives an active and healthy lifestyle, and doesn’t beat herself up if she eats out or enjoys a couple glasses of wine on the weekends. I guess that’s a pretty good transformation.

What’s this? New running shoes? About dang time!

I miss these shoes :( They don’t make them anymore and they were perfect for me when I was training for my half marathons. I hate when they discontinue shoes and you gotta go get your feet analyzed to find new ones :(

THE RUNNER STRUGGLE.

I decided to go through the archive in this little ol’ blog of mine (It was started in 2010!) and I found old pictures I would post to be so.... puzzling. I was very insecure about my body, despite having lost weight, and would contort my body into these positions to take pictures so I could look smaller? I had to have the right angles so as not to look fat (despite weighing 180 pounds).... and that makes me sad.

Dear 21-year old me: You are beautiful and your body is not wrong. You do not need to hide it or post pictures that make you appear smaller. You are good. You are worthy. Your body is right.
