I can't thank you enough for this com...Heather,<br />I can't thank you enough for this comment and your previous comment that actually made me realise I was over doing it! I could totally see my world starting to focus primarily around food and especially exercise and I could feel myself falling down a dark hole that was getting harder to dig myself out of- and you helped me with that! For that I will be extremely thankful and include you in my prayers each day! You are a gem and I'm sure one day we will both be free of this hold over-doing it can have over our entire beings! :)<br />Thanks again, so so much for your comment- made my day!<br />Steph 2 chef xxxAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10348703168635682069noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626027431649168940.post-92033420985798128422015-03-26T09:28:59.643-07:002015-03-26T09:28:59.643-07:00Steph--soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo...Steph--sooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo proud of you! This takes lots of courage and strength. I know that I have had this same problem and fight to this day with it. But I am slowly learning to turn the "i'll do one more set or twenty more minutes" with the justification that it will make me stronger or test how far my body can go into "I'll stop here or just move and have fun for a certain amount of time for health and to wake my body up". Sometimes it takes more mental strength to do less than it takes physical strength to do more. I struggle with food and exercise and have taken advantage of both aspects. I am trying to fight my way out of fear of food and exercise and fall in love with life and myself. I am so proud that you are strong enough to realize this about yourself at such an early age and actually stop and refocus your goals and intentions. If you are a praying person--pray for me in that. You are such an encouragement and an awesome example. Keep up the good work precious soul!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04809275456507081407noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5626027431649168940.post-3296084530124122182015-03-26T06:14:57.035-07:002015-03-26T06:14:57.035-07:00I can definitely relate to pushing myself too hard...I can definitely relate to pushing myself too hard, and it never ends well. It's never an easy thing for us over-achievers to take a step back and chill a bit, but it's usually in our best interest. It's great to be motivated and want to achieve bigger and better things, but you reach a point where your efforts are actually negated by the physical and mental toll you put on yourself. Glad you're realizing that you need to ease up sometimes :)Amanda @ .running with spoons.https://www.blogger.com/profile/18299127204504539512noreply@blogger.com
