For the first time in 48 days, I didn't go for a w For the first time in 48 days, I didn't go for a walk. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I walked the day I had food poisoning. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I walked when it was 15 degrees, even though I don't have cold-weather gear. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Today, it snowed over ice, and I was petrified of not lacing up my shoes. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Terrified that one day of rest means I'll stop forever. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
As much as I want to believe I've broken up with diet culture, it's very much rooted within me. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This idea that people must do ALL or NOTHING when it comes to fitness and nutrition is toxic. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The fact that I'm a plus size woman moving my body puts even more pressure on my shoulders to keep forging ahead. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
But today, I chose to rest.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Because rest is a necessary part of my journey if I want to keep showing up to walk all the miles I have left ahead. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
#plusmommy #plussizemom #plussizefitness ⁠⁠
Today I hit 100 miles since I started my journey o Today I hit 100 miles since I started my journey on January 1st, 2021, to walk 800 miles.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
A few years ago, I went to the doctor, struggling to breathe after getting sick.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
The doctor told me that I'm so big that maybe I needed to be on oxygen. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
She made me feel as if I didn't even deserve to breathe. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I've thought about that day a lot over the past 43 hours I've spent walking. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And how I allowed her words to swallow me whole for so long.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I've thought about all the weight I've gained since that day and how I stopped believing I could find a compassionate healthcare provider. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
And now it's time I let go of that shame and pain.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I deserve to breathe. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I deserve to have access to dignified healthcare. ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
I deserve to love a body that can do marvelous things at any size! ⁠⁠
⁠⁠
Today I forgive myself for ever allowing that doctor to fill my head with shame.⁠⁠
⁠⁠
This journey is about so much more than the miles I'm walking, and I'm just getting started! ⁠⁠
