I don't give two shyts about running........but for some reason I do want to run the Cooper River Bridge Run.

That....and I want to paddle from my hometown through the local river down to the Atlantic Ocean......get there....and call headquarters four days later and say...."Come get me....I've pulled my kayak ashore and am sitting outside at the nearby Mexican restaurant and having 'ritas and chips'n'salsa."

Running

Running faster than my little kids

Looking the mirror and seeing me as I think I am

Running into old friends and have them think about something other than my weight and me too

Swimming with my kids and having fun

Not having my body hurt so much when sitting on the floor

Knee pain

Getting my crazy blood pressure under control

Being able to wrap a towel completely around my body.

Tired of hearing." "You'd look amazing if you lost some weight." "You have a pretty face for a big girl."

Buying an arm strap for my phone that actually fits my arms.

Being pregnant without the fear of people not knowing if I'm overweight or pregnant.

Tired of not wanting to go out in public and enjoy my life because of my weight. Fear of other people's responses and judgments bc of my weight gain.

Not having to hide or feel invisible anymore. I feel like people often don't take me seriously bc of my weight or judge me bc of my food choices (whether healthy or not healthy).
