It's no secret that I am overweight. Going to the doctor is a ritual hell - whether I'm going for an asthma check up or travel vaccinations, they always trot out the medical wisdom that just losing weight would be good for me. Now I'm not going to complain about how hard 'just' losing weight is. I think people should accept responsibility for themselves - no matter how I got here or how easy others may find it to keep the weight down - it is my problem and only mine to change.
Weight loss was never my goal with this running thing; I've always had it in my mind that if I have to run that distance and still be this fat, so be it. But, but. I have not lost a single pound in weight since I started running; not one. Everyone has said that I must be replacing fat with muscle and I'm happy to believe that. I am still wondering if my weighing scales are stuck, though.
Hi Lisa, the same happened to me. I also just want to get healthier and not necessarily lose any fat, but I also expected to at least see SOME difference on the scales. Oh well..! I do feel the difference in my body though, and I suppose that will have to do for now.
ReplyDeleteGood luck with the running!
Hi, thanks! Yes, we have to take the positives, and I certainly feel better in myself. Still wish the wobbly bits would be a bit less wobbly though!
