Strive Don't Put Down

A few months ago, I wrote a post about Health at Every Size. Since then, I've finished my ACE weight management certification, but still have a lot to read and learn. I'm still struggling with accepting my body & weight. Almost every woman I know feels this way. It's kind of sad actually.

Recently, a friend & I have been chatting about running and how it's very similar. Most people say "I'm slow", "I run just a ... minute mile", etc. Why do we do this to ourselves in so many aspects of our lives? Why can't we be striving for a goal but also accept where we currently are?

We're continuously telling ourselves we're not good enough. But we are. We all are.
