My "inner Enid" sometimes finds that social media is making her feel like she is not good enough. We all need to love ourselves and accept ourselves as we are right now.
Let's focus on strength, health and mobility rather than how we look in the mirror.

Well said Nilsam. The only social media I use is this forum and it shows the way it should be. It is so supportive and when you think you have had a bad run, or you are on the injury couch feeling sorry for yourself, everyone just picks you up and makes you feel better
It looks like Enid has got good balance at her Pilates class
Me to Dexy , this is the only forum I use apart from looking on my parkrun page for updates or cancellations etc. I think the world would be happier place without it🤗🤗
I definitely agree with this sentiment. After sitting staring at all my wrinkles in the hairdresser’s mirror yesterday, while I had a sneaky look at Vogue.
No. Go away self-loathing. There is much to be happy about. A few more wrinkles? So what? There’s a run to do. And, I can do it!!! ☺️
Except here - this forum is amazing, as is the weight loss sister site ☺
Enid should be proud of who she is, and ignore the 'walking-on-water, farting-rainbow' brigade who pedal their 'perfect' lives - we are all good enough ☺ 💐
So much love for this post. I’m not a slim runner, trotting along like a young gazelle, but I am grateful for what my body is managing to do. I am getting stronger in mind and body thanks to running.
Thank you, agirlinwinter. We are all shapes and sizes and we are joined together with the aim of improving our health. If we add the aim of having a bit if fun with it, it makes the world go around with a smile on its face. 🤝🧘🏼♀️
