First Time in My Life

I went for a run for the first in my life this morning. At first I felt conspicuous. Then I felt victorious. No one stared or called me names. Rather, it seemed people I encountered waved and smiled. It was surreal.

It's amazing to feel my body getting stronger and my mind and spirit's reflection of it. I'm becoming who I've always been, giving birth to myself, and enjoying the metamorphosis.

Anyone else feel like this?

    Good for you. I haven't been able to get to this part of my journey yet. I think I'm still too heavy at this point (243.0lb)
    Keep up the good work.

    It's been gradual for me--I've been losing weight for about three years and am just now feeling more freedom. I pray you'll be feeling it soon!

    Keep at it :smile: I started running/walking around a year ago now I do it as often as I can doing the local 5k park run every saturday morning now. It is probably the most adictive thing I've ever done
