Guest guest Posted November 9, 2011 Report Share Posted November 9, 2011 I joined a health club yesterday! What's amazing is that I didn't join it to lose weight or to complement a diet. At all. I did it because I was at a sort of retreat this weekend where we did a lot of movement and dance and it felt so good to move and to breathe. I grew up in the 50's when women didn't move much. PE was an elective and girls and sports were not celebrated. I could go on - but suffice it to say that my body image and my resistance to working out just to lose weight have stood in the way of moving for a long time now. Plus, I just couldn't find the enjoyment in it. Tonight after work I was eager to do a workout so that I could burn off some of the frustration from the day and feel better. I just wanted to feel better. That my friends is brand-spanking new. For so long I haven't noticed that much about how I felt because I was so consumed with diet rebellion and diet restriction that how I felt was besides the point. Now - I do notice and I do care. It's so strange how this works. Yay for wanting to have a physical outlet that isn't eating! Sandarah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
