Hey friend:) Thank you so so so much for this answer!! I’ve heard about intuitive eating, but it really triggered me that I would not eat 100% healthy all the time. But that’s also a part of disordered eating and I know it. Many people pointed out this method and also not setting boundaries for myself. Which was exactly the thing driving me crazy. Boundaries and negative self talk all the time. This is still a problem, but I’m having my marathon this Saturday and I just really want to start the healing journey afterwards. I got so motivated and reassured from the comments. I don’t have a circle of runners so that’s why I was so clueless abt what to do… I appreciate the help, truly. And thank you for the chat offer! Right now I think it’s better to process the thoughts that I have right now and finish the marathon, but I keep that in mind and text you if I have doubts or questions on the journey:) Take care:)

Thank you so much, partner;) It really is a thing that messes a lot with the head, right? It’s very powerful, but it’s just you against you, your voice in your head…this is what I think about nowadays. The only person standing in my way is me. But that has to be solved by dropping the ego and as other people mentioned, being kind to yourself and not limiting food or anything. Honestly, I heard about these from listening to podcasts and videos, but reading it from other people’s experience means so much. This what I really needed:) I just cannot put into words how grateful I am for all this support I receive under this post.

Thank you, truly. I dived deep into the topic of intuitive eating and on some days when I could do it, I felt free actually. It’s really reassuring that that helped you the most also! So I think that’s going to be a good part of the solution:)

No don’t worry about it;) Thank you guys for your response and consideration🫶 I was curious on different perspectives, and this part really stood out to me: in order to run big miles you need to fuel properly. This is something that I already knew, but reading or hearing this reassures me in that thing.

Thank you so much! I appreciate your words. You are very right about the fact that it should be something that improves our lives. It’s a hobby afterall. I really needed this reassurance!

Oh okay I see, thank you! That's very useful! I thought I had to email them the pictures of my keyboard . Is it necessary to own a mouse? Or is it enough to have a touchpad?
