So, I’m sitting here, about to go down to the basement and do some laundry, and I’ve got the TV on. The Drs. is on right now. Not my fave show ever, but occasionally they have something interesting on. Today, I just hadn’t gotten around to changing the channel or turning it off and I hear them say something about a woman who was addicted to injections of collagen to the point that when her dr. started refusing to inject her any more (or provide the collagen for her to do it on her own which she had been doing under his care previously) she went home and injected her face WITH COOKING OIL.
It turns out she had body dsymorphic syndrome (or something like that - one of my dr. friends correct me if I’m wrong here) but basically she didn’t have a realistic idea of what she looked like (I think this is what a lot of people with eating disorders have).
This just made me think - sure, I’m not super happy with my current weight (or it’s distribution) HOWEVER, I look around at all of these super skinny kids (and adults) running around and I’m pretty happy with myself, blemishes, curves and all. I certainly can’t imagine ever being to the point where I would inject anything, much less cooking oil, into any part of my body!
Before we moved I was running regularly and was enjoying it but the move kind of threw me off my schedule. Now I’d like to get started again but I’d like to run with someone. The problem with that is, I don’t know anyone who runs at the same pace or even close to what I run - most people I know who run have been running for a long time and run long distances at a pretty quick pace. Anyone have any ideas? Hopefully I can get back into that routine soon.
Just some random, not very well phrased, thoughts for those who are interested (or just really bored).
Peace out.
