Continueing with the subject of body image, I would like to talk about a pair of pants I bought about 3 months ago.
I purchased a pair of tight fitting running pants about 3 months ago and have YET to wear them out of the house. (Don't worry Jason, they were only a few bucks so it wasn't a huge waste of money.) I see people at the gym wearing the EXACT same pants but for some reason, I can't bring myself to wear them. I'm slowly gaining the confidence to wear them but, not yet. They'll have to sit in my drawer for a few more weeks. I'll let everyone know when I wear them for the first time.
Anyone else out there ever had clothing they've purchased and never worn? I'm sure I'm not the only one.

SONG OF THE RUN: (I didn't have a favorite song of the run, I think I need to reload my Ipod.)
I also have purchased some tight clothes for running and I do feel uncomfortable in them, especially at the gym, but my thought is thisy. I need to do what I need to do in order to accomplish my goal of becoming fit and in shape. I find the tighter pants easier to run in so that is what I wear. I have to ignore my thoughts of "you are too fat", "everyone will look at your butt", etc so I can reach the goal I have set. I can't spend time and energy worrying about what other people think. If they are thinking those types of things then they are not the type of people I want in my life anyway!! Wear what you need to and be confident that you are doing something to better yourself!!! See you in a few weeks!!
