First 5K finish line!! This race meant so much more than running to me.. Such a huge victory.. Like a declaration of independence from obesity! I told my family I ran and even my grandmother was like “you know you don’t have good running genetics..” haha! I’m perfectly fine not being the fastest! Point is I did it and that’s what matters!

Reblog if your starting weight is 200+ lbs.

I started at 235. But I am getting close to ONDERLAND!

Started at 240 last year (maybe even a little more.. I didn’t weigh for fear of a mental breakdown) Last I checked I was 164.5. If you want it bad enough you can do anything! Changing your habits one at a time will change your whole life..

Forget putting your mind into it..

Fck the mind! It’s weak due the constraints of logic and reason, rules of can and can’t. But the heart can overcome the weakness of the mind.. It knows no boundaries.. All it knows is how bad you want it! You can do anything you put your HEART into.. BOOM!! - Me

Support system lacking..

I have had a lot of stressful things happening. We are looking for a new place. Work has been crazy. My trainer is moving so I haven’t been seeing her. My Mom, who I usually see every weekend, moved as well. My support system is not what it once was.

This was the system I relied on to lose 75 pounds and be healthier and now I feel a bit lost. The only exercise I have done over the last week has been running. I’ve been telling myself I just need to set up a plan and get to it, but I haven’t.

I want to start classes at the mma academy, but money is just so tight right now because of the whole moving thing.

NEED TO GET BACK ON TRACK! Right now I’m going to put a plan on paper. Then I just gotta follow the plan. JUST DO IT CARRIE!! I know I can do this..

I think part of the reason I stop keeping up on Tumblr so often is it becomes tiring.
Just because I want to lose weight doesn’t mean I have to stare at constant pictures of half-naked girls that I don’t even want to look like, read about how thin people can eat like shit…

Well said..

More powerful than the will to win is the courage to begin
