I have been runningnow about three times a week since Jan. I am holding steady on my wieght. But there are days I don't care. I realize that I am eating whatever I want which is sort of the holy grail, except I just wish I could hold steady at about 5 pounds shy of this. It's just 5 pounds but still. Most days I run b/c I want to be thin. ( stay thin) but at the end of the run, I run b/c I feel fucking awesome. It's a hard balance. The movitivator is def being thin. But at the end of the day I end up feeling good. I figure it's better than diets or whatnot. I'll slowly learn to like this wieght and get use to it just as my body says I'm to be 5 pounds heavier than this. xo I hear you. I have been runningnow about three times a week since Jan.

The other day I thought of all the things I didn't allow myself to do, and people to see because I hadn't seen them since my 'skinny days' or I felt I wanted to wait until I had lost the extra weight I'd gained; or just generally 'looked better'. It was sobering- chunks and chunks of life experience sacrificed to cater to the almighty body image. And I did it to myself. Amen.

In many ways, I could have written this post. I have been a slave to my personal fat narrative since I was 12 and it is, just like you say, the amount of space my body takes up in my brain that is so exhausting and ultimately, boring. So glad to hear you're declaring a ceasefire and are seeking peace. Good luck with the tolerance - I'm aiming for that too. Jen, I feel for you. In many ways, I could have written this post.
