Day 2
List the reasons for improving your fitness
Okay.... I have plenty of these. List form is probably better in this case :)
- to keep up with my daughter
- to lose my belly shelf that came with having a c-section
- to not feel sick and tired every day
- to provide a good example for family and friends
- to not be so depressed
- to be more self confident
- to love my body
- to have a fuller life
- to open up to new things
- to be more flexible
- to be able to lift things without hurting myself
- to be able to run
When I don't exercise and eat right, I feel guilty. I get sad, because I have a little girl who watches everything I do. I want to show her how to be healthy, and have fun doing it.
I used to be free, and healthy, and happy. I spent most of my time outside, walking or doing yoga. Somewhere along the way, I lost that, and I lost myself in the process. I am bipolar, and have low self esteem. I also have been at my heaviest (130lbs). While a lot of people say that is nothing, and I should be thankful for it, I don't like being that weight. I am a small person. I have never been over 115 in my life. I look in the mirror and see flab. If you have never seen me naked, you have no right to tell me I'm wrong.
I hear a lot of "everyone dies, just live your life!" Guess what? I am living my life the way I want to. I was never happy just... living. My happiest time is when I'm living well.
