Proud of myself

I have been working hard lately to try to stay positive and I still struggle some days.....
Today started out a mess with a trip to the dentist followed by a meal of hot wings and some brownies which was not a full blown binge, but pretty close to it. My calories were not terribly awful and I pulled myself out of binge mode in time to somewhat salvage the day.
After this I made the decision to try to face my feelings and challenge telling myself that I can't. I workout ALOT, but running has been a challenge for me due to asthma and panic attacks and I have been working up to it. Today I have to admit that I was pretty proud of myself to run a half mile in 5 minutes and then keep going to finish the mile without giving up and telling myself that I can't. No matter how much circuit and kickboxing I have done....I have feared running outdoors after losing the weight and a rape in my past, but I took the bull by the horns and got out and did not panic at all and kept on running that mile.
It seems a small victory to me, but I had to post it anyway. Wishing everyone the best!
