Different this time.

I just finished reading the most amazing book. The author’s website is Running With Angels. This woman was in my head. All the weird thoughts I have about food, she had. All the desperation, she felt it. It has been very therapeutic for me to read of her experiences and try and follow along with my real life.

She lost 100 lbs with WW and exercise, so I joined WW. I am eating sooo much less and staying within my points. I haven’t been able to do this in years.

She started out unable to run more than a few steps, and she runs marathons now. I am a beginning, slow runner & I can feel that I am getting stronger each time. I’ve always disliked running, now I do it every day. If I don’t, I’m miserable and antsy. As an added bonus running is causing me to think of food as fuel and not comfort anymore. It’s incredible. I didn’t think I could do it, not deep down in my heart. Now I don’t think anything can stop me.

All those other times I’ve tried to lose weight, it never lasted long. I have never been this committed before. I don’t know why it’s different, but it is.
