Hello all!
Wow...sorry about the lack of posting! But...drum roll please......
I have friends!
I know this is crazy, Iowa City has not been kind to me since we moved here almost a year and a half ago and I had a terrible time meeting people in my same life stage and age. I had one very good friend right when we moved here but...well...sometimes things are not what they seem. So...I ate which is what got me into this mess in the first place. But now I have friends and I am involved in our new church and am so much happier!
I have also decided to start training for a 5k this spring! I was inspired by my awesome ISU roomie Torey, she hates running and loves food as much as me so there for if she can do it I can do it! She told me about this couch to 5k app for my phone that tells me when to run and when to walk in the training. Needless to say I am not starting until spring but as talked about in previous posts I have enjoyed running outside and have NO desire to run on a stupid tredmill. Then this summer my whole family and I will run a 5k in Kansas city together!
I am really learning to love myself again. This has been SO hard to overcome. Self esteem is a huge problem to deal with and it takes time but I am learning to get there. Now I have good days and bad days, there are some pictures I wont look at and some people I wont stand next to in pictures but that will all change this summer. :) I will be high school cheerleading ripped again! PROMISE. I have also learned I can do what I put my mind too. If I want to eat only 800 calories in a day and run I will I just have to get in the mind set and DO IT! I mean I am eating yogurt and egg whites for breakfast for goodness sake! I CAN DO IT!
I am still not perfect and I still have some bad days but it is getting easier :)
God is so good <3 and I am SO blessed!
