Daily Wahnsinn

Hi, I'm Petra and this is my weight loss/fitness blog.

I used to be on Weight Watchers from January 2011 to October 2012, dropping approximately 45 lbs. I've made the transition from unhealthy and unhappy to athlete and this is my journey to becoming a healthier, happier me. I frequently post about my exercise (mostly running, yoga and lifting), the foods I eat, recipes I liked and my daily struggles. You'll also find the occasional tree hugger post, (travel) photography or anything else I find worth remembering and collecting.

I follow most blogs back that follow me. However, I do stay away from blogs that promote EDs, unhealthy methods of weight loss or negative body image.

Feel free to say hi any time!

Runnersworld.com: Running on Empty

I saw this article in the recent edition of Runner’s World on the day I realized that I suffer from disordered eating. It’s been since posted online and I think it’s a great read and I encourage you to take a look at it.

A lot of the things mentioned in this article I notice in my own behavior. Counting/estimating calories while I run (and how much further I have to go until it’ll give me more points to then not eat later because I don’t want my hard work to be undone), thoughts of having to run further because I did something wrong the day before. Good foods vs. bad foods. Shaving seconds off your pace, thinking it’s due to your weight loss, only to come to the realization that it’ll all come crashing down once your body just can’t support it anymore due to lack of fuel.

I’m becoming aware of my patterns and I’m working against them, even though it doesn’t always feel right. I will overcome this.
