This weekend while running I had a bit of a break through (I actually cried a little while running). I'm not just someone who's lost almost 125 lbs, I'm a mother, a wife, a daughter, a runner and an architect - not always in that order.
I'm a mother/wife who needs to eat well to set good examples for her family. I'm mother/wife who needs to continue to look certain way because let's be honest I enjoy being a trophy wife and the mom every wonders "how does she do it" (superficially, yes I know), I'm a runner who needs to eat well to continue to train well, I'm an architect who needs to look the part and needs to continue to feel good about herself in order to exude confidence.
I enjoy this new person so much that "having a weight problem" or "having issues with food" must become a thing of the past for me or the definition of me. I've become so emersed in my food issues and others that it's consumed me and it has to stop. Sadly to say, I think that may mean a bit of a break from 3FC. I hope that's not a mistake because I feel that the most successful maintainers continue their involvement in communities like these and I will continue to lurke and hopefully contribute when I have something of value. I feel like lately my posts have been scattered and unuseful for the group, so hopefully a bit of break will help me to focus better on the really important stuff. Anyway, I'm starting to get scattered again and I'm at work, which I shouldn't be spending time on here when I should be working, so I'll start by limiting my 3FC time to non work hours and try to get my visists down to 1-2xs a day instead of all day, except today - I'll have to come check on my posts
Weight loss doesn't define me anymore - this is the new me.
Well I have the same problem... Instead of working I sneak in 3fatchick time << But I understand and I hope you come back soon!
