What does your weight do for you?

I came across this question when looking for some weight loss inspiration and it really got me thinking. What does my weight do for me right now?

It holds me back from doing things I want to do.
It lets me hide.
It gives me an excuse not to do things.
It lets me get away with comfort eating- I'm already fat so what's it going to hurt?
It allows me to be the introvert that I am - I just try to hide and not have to deal with people I don't know.
It allows me to fail - It gives me an excuse as to why I don't do anything with my life.

I also came across the couch to 5k program. I've seen it several times, but always thought, not me. I'll never do that, even if I lose the weight. Well, why the hell not? See, that's just using the excuse not to do things.

I think I'm getting ready to maybe finally do it this time. It's like I'm CONSTANTLY thinking about losing weight, how I can do it, what I need to do, etc. So I'm going to post more and hope we can all keep each other motivated. I've got some more posts lined up, but I've always been so bad at blogging we'll see if I actually get them up, LOL!

Oh, and you guys should post a list answering that question I started with. Good or bad, what does your weight do for you?

I often ask myself this same question. And I come up with some of your same answers. Do you think you will do the couch to 5k? I would love to join you for it!

I think I will try the couch to 2 5k, but not just yet. I'm waiting on a supposedly good sports bra, and if it works that good then we'll se where I am in running fitness. As it is, I don't attempt running, it hurts the chest too much, lol.
