My confession

I almost threw in the towel.
There's this small voice in my head that has gotten louder and louder. It is yelling for me to quit running. It is yelling for me to become content with my current weight/size. It is yelling that I don't *need* to run that silly half marathon in November.
That voice has a name. It's called FEAR.
I've been letting fear get to me
I decided today that I would NOT give in to fear.
I almost did, though. And that makes me a little sad.
I need to set some realistic (and easier to obtain) goals for a while when it comes to my weight #'s. No more looking at this like it's a sprint. It's ok if it takes me another few years to reach my ultimate goal. As long as I don't give up.
TEN years ago, I weighed 342 pounds (that's me on the left in my profile pic 10 years ago). In those ten years I have lost 129 pounds. That should tell me something. Even though it has taken me many years to lose this 129 lbs, I am MUCH happier now. AND - I'm a whole heck-of-a-lot happier than I would be if I had given up after year 1,2,3 b/c it was taking too long to lose the weight.
So there. That's my confession.
Time to crush some fear >=)
