goals: part one

it is my intention to work on loosing the many extra pounds that i am carrying.

my goals? so far...

i want to be a runner.

the last couple of times that i attempted running (okay, jogging), my shines hurt and then i worried about my knees. so i stopped. but i want to be that person, that i laugh at that is running in the rain, or the dead heat. i want that passion, or obsession.

i want to be healthy.

lately i have felt out of breath, when i do very little. i feel like some of my actions, (getting out of the car, bending to pick up things) have been altered because of my weight. i feel like a huge unhealthy person. i feel like a person that i would judge, or think, 'how did they let it get so far'. i have passed my personal limit. and i have to stop myself.

i want to feel beautiful.

sometimes people (mostly family) tell my i am beautiful. i just don't see it anymore. sometimes i think i am pretty, and i know what i see in the mirror isn't what everyone else sees, because when i see a photo of myself it just isn't what i see in my mirror... opposite of anorexia?? do we have a name for this?

i will continue to add to my goals. this is the start. i don't have a number goal just yet. i find that it is intimidating, and hard to achieve.

I love these goals! They're some of mine, too. I have a bad back right now, but one of my life-dreams is to be a runner. I think it would feel so good to get there.

Thank you for your nice words on my site! I'm going to keep track of your journey/progress!

So I am so in on this. Your plan is great. I love your goals, I have many of the same. It is so embarassing to be a work and bumping into my patient's beds because I have an inaccurate sense of my butt's dimension! I want to be a healthy person. I am tired of my size and can not live like this anymore!
