1000 consecutive days of MFP!

In the past 1000 days I've:
- lost 100lbs
- maintained this loss (September will be 2 years of maintenance)
- had a lot of great days where I stayed within my calories (both in weight loss and maintenance)
- fallen off track more times than I can count
- logged the good days and the bad days
- had binges of 5000+ calories at one time
- logged every single binge to the best of my ability (and moved on)
- wanted to quit
- didn't quit
- Started running at 200lbs
- Run my first marathon 7 months later
- Run my first 100k ultra marathon
- Run several other halfs, fulls, and a 50k
- Skip at least 1-2 morning runs per week because I can't drag my lazy butt out of bed
This whole experience has been constant ups and downs. It never gets easy, there is always some kind of struggle whether it's trying to fight binge eating (yes 1000 days later I still go through this regularly) or fight my brain at 4am when it doesn't want to get out of bed for a 2 hour run before getting the kids up for school. Sometimes my husband is out of town so I can't get in any training runs all week because my kids can't be left by themselves.
Life happens, there will always be obstacles whether it's yourself or your situation; I've learned you just kind of need to plow right through it all and keep going.
Looking forward to the next 1000 days!
