“Running has helped build my confidence and is no longer just something I do for weight loss; it is part of my lifestyle.”
8 years and 7 months
My weight has been a struggle for my entire life. I weighed more than 200 pounds my freshman year of high school, but was able to lose almost 70 pounds by my high school graduation. However, I lost weight the wrong way, by severely limiting my calories, and I was not able to maintain the weight loss.
When I was around 20 years old, I had gained a majority of the weight back. I tried various diets and exercise in my 20s, and I would always lose a few pounds and gain a few pounds. It was a never-ending cycle. I always had headaches and fatigue, and I struggled with my self-confidence; I generally was not happy with my body.During routine bloodwork around age 29, I found out that I had high cholesterol, which was my turning point.
Around 2016, I became fully committed to running and started enjoying it more. I started running four to five times a week for about 15 total miles, and continued to do this through the first 18 weeks of my firstwith our son. After the birth of our son in 2017, I got back into running and was able to get back down to my pre-pregnancy weight—and I lost another 10 pounds. When I was pregnant with our daughter in 2018, I was able to run up until the day she was born in April 2019.
