The day before yesterday was AWESOME. (why?) because I got all my financial aid and TAXES done in one day. And if you know my mother it is not possible for her to finish anything on time. But we truly did it together.
Yesterday I over ate by like 300 something calories. But honestly, I was hungry. Not bored hungry, or emotional hungry. No, My body was actually hungry, so I ate. Now will that bite me in the butt later? possibly but I doubt it.
Today I went running, (c25k) and I put on clothes and I felt thin. Started my run and felt like an athletic person. (the person I said I could never be) and I just smiled and said wow, I feel good. Not to mention, that my body is shaping up. I realized being healthy is not in everything the scale says, its in how good your body looks and feels. The scale can catch up later. :)
Lately, everyone has been saying how they want to be thin. Thin doesn't mean your healthy and I feel like that a common misconception. Healthy, is getting YOUR shape IN shape. Healthy isn't being a size 0 or 1. For some people healthy is size 12, 9 or etc. Girls (or men) when you say you want to lose weight, know what's in shape for YOUR shape. :) It will stop half of the disappointment :)
Lastly, this blogging thing is pretty cool and when I reach my goal weight, I promise to provided before and after pics :)

ReplyDeleteThat is so true. I try to tell this to my little sister who is 16 and also needs to lose weight, but is simply not built to be a size 6. She gets frustrated because she doesn't have the patience to be successful at losing weight yet and I'm not sure if her goals are realistic. I'm trying to lead by example and see how that works...
Glad to hear that you are feeling fit and good about yourself.
Thats really good, that your telling her that so she can understand. We both know her pain and that it's annoying but the only way to ever finish something correctly is by starting and taking your time to finish. Its like the story of the hopper and the turtle. :)
