@redheadfl tagged me to post 5 things that I love about myself.
I always struggled with these posts, I often find it hard to see the positive in myself and not to focus on the negative, which is why when I’m tagged in these kind of posts I try to do them, to get myself to show some self love for awhile.
1. My ability to scramble back up every time life knocks me down. This last year has been horrendously hard, for reasons that I’ve shared here and reasons I have kept private. There have been days when I’ve wanted to not get out of bed, days I’ve wished I didn’t wake up. But I’m still standing, and still fighting.
2. I have managed to remain kind, loving and compassionate. And I will never let anyone or anything change that.
3. My determination. I’ve managed to stick to my training plan, it hasn’t been easy, but in 10 months I’ve gone from couch potato to ready to run my first marathon.
4. Several months ago when things fell apart my eating disorder reared it’s ugly head and I managed to recognise it, control it and deal with it.
5. My ass. Am I allowed to say that? But ya I’m loving my ass right now.
