Which Place Do You Want to Remember?

Do you have a place that you always want to hold in your heart?  Some location filled with wonderful memories and every time you think of it, you feel happy.

And I even have a beautiful way for you to remind yourself. 

My place is California.  It started with:

My low self-esteem

How happy are you right now with your body?

From the age of 8 on, I’ve struggled with my weight. I was overweight in elementary school which carried on to middle school, then high school, then college.

I always had an extra 20 pounds on me. Every time I tried to lose weight, I always quit after a day.

Then, I saw a brochure for marathon training.  I know, me!!  Run a marathon!?!  I hated running.

It was one of those programs where you raise money for a charity and then they pay your way to a fabulous marathon out of state.

Some mental switch flipped on.  This is it.  I told myself, “If I can run a marathon, I can lose this weight.”  Marathon runners are lean.  They are strong.

A little voice also told me, “If I can run a marathon, I can finally feel good about myself.  I would deserve to feel good about myself.”  Because that was really the cause of all my frustrations.

I felt crappy about who I was.

I told myself and everyone I encountered, that I was going to do this.  Yet, I never signed up.

Then, came the turning point.
