I actually love the support of this community, every big accomplishment I work towards I can't wait to share. You guys have encouraged me and, slowly, got me to believe in myself.
I was a runner before I became depressed and put on all this weight. I'm doing better (halfway to goal weight!!) but I still fall apart sometimes. I was beating myself up today because I was upset at myself for sneaking away and eating a second slice of pizza when I knew I wasn't hungry. I told myself this is the consequences of my own decisions and it was time to do something.
I've hit my "bottom" before. I never know what it will result in. I couldn't think of another way to encourage a diet in me (I'm eating at a calorie limit but no diet necessarily). I was upset and wide awake at 12:30AM. I made myself get out there.
I was just gonna run to the end of the street and maybe back but once I started it was so great to run again. It all just came back. I fell into a rhythm, paced myself, and I ran a mile before making myself stop to not overdo it. I cried when I finished. I've been trying for 5 years to finally get out that door and run.
You guys inspire me. You inspired me to get help with my eating disorder, to finally eat less, get under 200 pounds, and I finally got out that door. Thank you for the support. Don't know where I'd be without you.
