Run.Eat.Lift.Repeat

I need to remember this!

my size 6 is my best friends size 2 and one of my other friends size 10... everyone’s sweet spot is different because what is most healthy is different. Health does not come in a “one size fits all” package. 

<3 this. so much this. When I started this journey - what I learned super fast is that I basically starve myself when I don’t set reminders in my phone to eat. Somewhere along the line I messed up my own metabolism enough that my body seems to have stopped reminding me to eat. Throw ADHD in the mix and I literally have to set reminders in my phone to eat. I eat 10x what I used to eat but it is alll sooooooo much better for me.

I used to strive for this. Everything about this.... thing is - for me THIS wasn’t healthy. For me I could never see myself as this even when I had attained it. I always needed to be smaller or more flexible or needed better form. This is exactly what I don’t strive for. Yes, she is beautiful - but for me, striving for this is enabling a disorder. I scrolled through my old tumblr tonight and was appalled at how tiny and how disordered I was. We live and we learn. Sure, small is cute... but strong is sexy.

p.s.- I should add that I’m down to a 12-14… Next stop - size 8 by Saint Patrick’s Day!

Today at the gym I had to work side by sides with a woman in her mid 40′s… She accidentally forgot to reset the leg press to her own weights after I used it and then complained that it was really difficult… my leg press had 160 pounds over what she usually does… the fact that she was capable of doing it means she isn’t actually gaining anything from the weights she’s been setting it at… she wanted nothing to do with re-setting her weights either. 

Challenge = Change
