I started my weight loss journey about 2 months ago and I’ve been mainly focused on CICO. However, I do exercise everyday which is just walking for a few miles. I walked 4 miles this afternoon on very steep inclines and I had chipotle for dinner. I didn’t feel too good because I was stressed and scared I overate so I decided to go walk around a track and neighborhood. I don’t know where the courage came from, but I just started to run. I was slow, but I still made it around the track 1.5 times without stopping which for me is a HUGE victory because I used to not be able to run for more than 10 seconds. I have really bad anxiety and hate that people look at me while they drive past (I know they don’t it’s just my anxiety). For 5 min on the walk back to my house, I kept looking back and forth back and forth to see if any cars were coming so I could give another go at running. Eventually, I said fuck it and just ran even if there were cars coming towards me. The distance I ran wasn’t a lot, but its just so nice to just run and not think or care about anything. I know to many it doesn’t seem like a lot, but to me it is because this subreddit has been somewhere I come to every night when I’m in bed because I look forward to all your encouragements and support for one another. I know it sounds stupid, but that’s my NSV. I might hate running tomorrow, but I’m really glad I was finally able to try. Didn’t think I’d ever say this, but I’m really excited to get my life back on the right track even if it takes a while.
I know that a lot of you are in the same place as me and are prob lurkers, but I hope that you guys too are able to take weight loss easy and find your NSVs!
