My Reason

I, like most people who are overweight, did not become so without a reason. There is a cause for the extra eating, it just takes some time and depending on the person maybe some professional help to figure it out.

I thought I had it, I thought I ate because I was bored and needed more activity in my life. I thought that by going to the gym 5-7 days a week and keeping up with chores, friends and family I would be fine.

This is not what happened. Well in the beginning it did but over the last 3 months I have been struggling to eat healthy. I had no problem exercising regularly, but my food habits became very unhealthy. 2000-3000 calories a meal. I was sabotaging myself like this everytime I made progress.

Through some self discovery the last week, I realized I was terrified of being at a healthy weight. I was scared that all the things in my life I blame my weight on, would still be an issue after all the weight is gone and I wouldnt have anywhere to place the blame but myself.

Now, just because I understand why I overeat doesn't mean I'm magically cured and life is happy again. But I now have the ability to check myself every time I go to have a little bit extra to make sure I am doing it for the correct reasons, such as a celebration. I am slowly working towards bettering myself and hopefully over time I will reach my goals.

You guys I'm actually really excited about this running program I'm doing! Run#3 is tomorrow - aiming for between 40-50 minutes of running. Last time I did about 3.5 miles in 42 minutes so I'm aiming for something similar to that again! Cannot believe I can run 3 miles without stopping or walking - that is wild to me! I'm hoping that this running program helps me get up to 6 miles by May! 10k here I come!

I felt so beautiful this day! Sometimes I wonder is it because I’m hiding in the material or is it the black. Underneath the clothes I know the weight is there…. but you know what it’s ok to feel good about yourself!! And it’s ok to have the weight there! Because I know my journey isn’t over and I know that one day I will be able to feel good inside and out! I will continue to love myself and work hard!
