I cannot believe it! I am tired of eating. My stomach starts to feel a bit hungry and I sigh. I don't want to have to eat again. I miss the slightly hungry feeling. I have read a lot about eating during taper. Everything talks about not stuffing yourself, but not getting hungry. So I continue my small meals throughout the day which is normal for me. But I eat more often. I try make smart choices, after all, I just had 2 cups of green beans this afternoon. Sometimes I am tired of trying to take the time for something healthier. And sometimes the ice cream is calling my name. It gets lonley in the freezer next to the veggies! So, I comfort it with some quality time.
I forgot something on Monday. It was not only my birthday. It was also the second anniversary of reaching my goal weight! I lost nearly 60 pounds. Two years later, I am still within 3 pounds of that goal! One of my greatest anxieties was that I would gain all the weight back in only a few months. Now I know I can keep the weight off. It takes vigilance, but it isn't as hard as I thought it would be! I know that I can eat and eat and eat for a marathon. I know that after the marathon I can change my eating habits back to normal. I am indeed a success story.

You are an inspiration to me. I hope that I am as focused a runner next year as you are. I hope you run in a race with me again sometime.
Ice cream? Where's the ice cream?
Happy anniversary! Sixty pounds is a great accomplishment. Eating healthy for a lifetime- that takes diligence.
