Hello, my name is amber. I am like every other person who is unhappy with themselves and there body image.  I have struggled with my weight and have tied it into my self worth for a good portion of my life. I have been overweight since Jr high and have tried every fad diet on the market. I haven't found anything that has worked for me until now. I'm 25 years old and I just started running at the end of march.  Nothing in my life has been as challenging as pushing myself to stick with it every day. Nothing in my life has been as rewarding either.
          I would like to share a little about myself. As I stated above I'm 25, I am also an RN I work in a long term care facility. I am very bad at spelling and grammar so sorry in advance! I love the beach and the sun and in general have a very whole life. The one thing in my life I've always been unhappy with is my weight. The change in my world view didn't just happen over night. My mind frame changed with a combination of boredom (I literally had no hobbies) inspiration from 2 amazing coworkers,  and the desire to change. This is the trifecta that has motivated me to change my life. I am eating healthy and am raining for my first half marathon in October!  I'm going to have a lot of hardships and fun times along the way and want to share my story with anyone who is struggling and needs to know they're not alone! We all struggle and it doesn't get easier, you get stronger! So RUN!
