I made myself a pair of sarong pants last night, but grappled with wearing them today because I was worried about looking fat in them. Then came the inevitable, "I only I were 70 pounds lighter...."
That's when it hit me, even if I were 70 pounds lighter, I would still be stressing over my weight. I would be worried about putting on or increasing a size. Size 8? Maybe if I skip lunch a couple of days I could squeeze into that 6....
I don't know if I'll ever be comfortable with my body, that's the reality. In the meantime I'm happy to be running again and maybe the rest will come.

Right on all counts. I completely understand but the good news is that we can retrain ourselves to eat healthy and maintain regular excercise and WANT to eat healthy and workout. I got into a routine that was successful, ran a marathon, and then fell apart this past winter but no so much as to undo all the progress I made. I'm happy to be back in gear, but admittedly, it does take work. It's worth it though.
