I made a commitment to myself that I would stop worrying about losing weight and start worrying about gaining strength. I realized that my body wasn’t made for running, it was made for lifting. As Matt so eloquently helped me understand, “Some people are built to go fast. Some people are built to go far. And some people are built to pick those other people up.” The interesting thing for me is that with enough focus on finding joy and fat acceptance, I am finally finding it for myself. It’s been nearly 4 years since I started my paleo journey and lost 135lbs (of which I’ve maintained a 100lb+ loss for 3 years). It has taken that long to accept my body, to love my body for what it can do instead of what it looks like. paleoparents/featured/i-am-strong/
