It used to be about losing weight and looking good, but now I'm into running, I run everyday mon/fri, getting better and better as every lb of weight comes off, I know that carrying the extra 4stone which i atill am carrying is affecting my performance that I know I need to lose that weight before I can run my best, I am training to run the plymouth half marathon next year and I want to be able to do it under 2hours. I know I wont be able to if I am carrying this extra weight my body doesn't need. Being thin or a certain weight isn't always the right goal to have, because I have known many people who have got down to the ideal weight only to notice that life isn't a whole lot different to what it was when they were bigger?? and then they start to wonder if it was all worth it??? then they gradually put weight on etc. What I have learnt from running is that it a mind over matter thing, My mind tells my body it will do the x amount of running I tell it to do even if my body is saying I'm tired, I hurt I want to stop etc.
If your looking and searching for perfection you will never get it, you can spend your whole life thinking 'what if' there are no guarantee's that you will have the life/social life/perfect man/ when you reach your ideal size etc, you are still the same person inside. Work towards another goal, something that is based on having a healthier life style or some kind of fitness goal. NCassidy make your goal to be the best footballer you can be, to be the best footballer you can be would be to start fuelling appropriately for the training you do, looking at ways to lower your bodyfat, eating foods which support that goal, asking yourself why you eating foods which will take you away from the goal you have which will make you fatter and slower on the football pitch???? Taking responsibility for your eating, noone makes you make the wrong food choices?? Good luck
