Body Image.

I just finished reading Dawn's blog and it has given me a light bulb moment(Oprah). How many times have I compared myself to others or thought I wasn't good enough? The answer to that is countless. I used to not be this way.I used to be a very confident person. When did I start to determine my self worth on how many miles I could run or how tight my jeans fit? I have been consumed with my body image. I have comitted to running the Wasatch Back because I didn't want my friend Marlene to think I was a wimp. Who am I kidding, I am. I hate to run. It is the most unenjoyable thing on the planet to me. But what do I find myself doing? I find myself buying running shoes and running on the treadmill for what seems like hours all because of image. I have committed to doing the race but when it is all said and done I will not do that again. I have to realize that I am fine the way that I am. I do want to be fit and healthy but I don't want it to consume me to the point where that is all I'm thinking about. I have stretch marks and cellulite!!! I say it loud and I say it proud!!!
