Run Charley Run

Yeah—who cares that I run now?
Oh wait… *I do.*

Because I freaking did it.

After years of struggling with obesity, trying every diet, quitting, starting over, hating the mirror—I finally stopped lying to myself. I told myself the truth:

I wasn’t healthy.
I was on a path that could’ve taken me out early.

And all the “be kind to yourself” talk? It didn’t work for me.
What worked was getting honest. Brutally honest.

I had to admit: I wasn’t choosing myself.

Because if I truly loved myself back then—I would’ve made different choices. I would’ve protected my health. I would’ve fought for my future.

So yeah, I got harsh. I got real. And then I got to work.

And now?
This girl runs.

And I’m not stopping.

Not because I hate who I was—
but because I finally love myself enough to never go back there.

I choose better. Every single day.
Not perfect—just better.

I still eat the donut. I still have pizza.
But I know my limits now. I respect my body now.

Because it started small—
a 10-minute walk…
turned into 60 minutes…
turned into walking + lifting…
turned into a lifestyle.

Now I move my body every day—no matter what.
Even if it’s just 5–10 minutes. I show up anyway.

Because this isn’t about punishment anymore.
It’s about love. Discipline. Intention.

I live to love myself better.
I live to be here—for my kids, for my future.
And I live with purpose every single day.

So yeah… I run.
And I’m going to keep running.

Because I’m worth it. And so are you.

I don’t share this for bragging or attention but to say… YOU CAN DO IT! One step is all it takes.

Keep kicking 🍑 beautiful people 😘
