Hey Babes!! 💛

It’s weigh in Friday! I’m at 222.4lbs yet again! Haha and you know what… I’ve been maintaining for three weeks just about. Time to start lowering my fat intake and upping my fiber and movement. The end of this week, I’ve been doing just that since Wednesday of this week. I’m feeling so great and determined. Motivation is so fickle, but I know that I want to be healthy and happy! I hope everyone has a great week, and remember…

Just be better than yesterday, one day at a time. 🙌🏾✨

About This Blog

Hello all,

I’m Jackie (you’ll learn more about me later) and I’m a fat girl who runs.

There are actually plenty of fat and/or bigger women who run on the internet and that’s fucking amazing! Mirna Valerio is a fucking icon; Jill Angie is absolutely spectacular; Julie Creffield is super great. There are so many more women (and men!) out there showing that fat people can and do run and doing it unashamedly. What a time to be alive, right?

But in my quest to find blogs and podcasts and the like to get me through my first 5k (more on that later too), I was confronted with this: so many of these people are running long distances. They talk about training for marathons, or ultra-marathons, or 50, 100ks. Which is great and amazing! 

But I’m not trying to do that. I’m not sure I’m ever even trying to run a 10k, to be honest. And hearing about “recovery runs” that are longer than I’m running ever was a little disheartening. 

So, this blog was born.  

What I want this blog to be is a space of encouragement. If you’re struggling to run a mile, or two miles, or some distance that feels like a “short” one to anyone who is a “real runner,” I want this blog to be here to tell you it’s okay: you’re a real runner too!  

Now, to get this out of the way: I WILL NEVER GIVE A FUCK ABOUT WEIGHT LOSS.

That is not what this blog is about. I am not running to lose weight. I’m not. I’m running because as it turns out, it’s LIFE CHANGING in terms of my mental health. I never thought I would be that girl, but here we are: I feel better on days I run. But I have not lost weight since I’ve been running, and I don’t care if I ever do. I care about feeling better, no matter what the scale says. I’m a big believer in fat positivity and body positivity. I’m not running to be “healthier” in the physical sense, (though I’m sure it is making me healthier by some standards,) because I don’t owe health to anyone for existing in this world; I’m running because it gives me a sense of accomplishment and combats the intrusive “what’s the point of anything” thoughts that can try to invade my brain. 

I’m probably always going to be that big, red-faced bitch trucking along slowly getting passed by the “typical” runner. But that’s okay, because I’m still doing it. And if you’re doing it too, then no matter how fast or how far you’re going, as long as you’re feeling good, you’re killing it.

Hey babes!! ☀️

Getting used to posting on here again haha! I forgot to update on Friday, but I’m currently 222.4lbs and feeling sluggish 😂 I have been eating more junk food this week as I’m getting used to my new job, but slowly finding balance!

Getting back into moving 4xs a week! I’m aiming to have a physique difference by naked eye in December! That’s my main goal, although being between 185-195 would be ideal, if I’m still over that but I’m happy and healthy, I don’t care 😌✨ health has ALWAYS been first here, and will always be first. Last week, I was feeling not so hot so eating more greens and less processed fats is the goal!

Heyyyy Babes 💕

It’s been a long time, I think over a year since I’ve been on my account. I’ll go ahead and recount what’s happened since then. I moved, I got my car broken into and my things stolen, I got back into rollerskating, I gained back to 222lbs, I celebrated 5 years of marriage, I worked through some trauma, I lost a decade old friendship, I lost a job and got another one in my field, annnnnd I made TONS of new friends! This past year has been ups and downs at the fullest for me. If you’re still following well hiiii! I’m still striving to be healthy and maybe lose a bit of weight, but overall I want to be happy and healthy (iykyk)! I’ll be posting once a week on Fridays for weigh ins (physically and mentally/emotionally) and getting back on schedule!

With that being said—

It’s good to be back

I really just found two vegan magnums in the freezer I had forgot about 😝 that would of never happened in the past ahaha 🤣🤣

Because I don't restrict these types of foods, I had literally forgotten because I haven't craved ice cream in a while 😅

I have been away babes💛

And with good reason. I had to, because I’m out fighting for my people. For a while, I slipped on self care and needed to spend some time away. Just know I’m doing well for myself again, and I’m happier now. With everything going on in the world, remember that #blacklivesmatter and self care is important, and it’s necessary. I’m currently 200lbs on the dot and for the first time in what seems like my whole life, my weight isn’t important at all. My health, in all aspects, is more important than that number. My life has been so different lately, but that’s really all I have. If you’re still following me, I appreciate it!
