episode 004: ankles

I was on 3FC the other day and I read an old post from a few months ago about silly reasons for losing weight. Many of the answers people listed on there weren't silly in the least, and I suppose the one I'm about to talk about isn't silly, either. I wanted to post my biggest reason for doing this.

Feet. More specifically, my ankles.

I don't mean buying pretty shoes (though I like pretty shoes and that's a pretty good reason to me), but it's about freedom. I look at other people's ankles all the time. They're cool. I don't want my ankles and feet to swell by the end of a work day. I want to ice skate without my feet buckling under my weight. I want to wear flimsy sandals on a hot day! I have to wear sneakers all the time, it's confining!

So, yeah, there are other body parts that bother me and unhealthy habits I want to change. I want to not be afraid of my body giving out on a trip overseas or be afraid of hard work when I become a pirate. But my feet. That's what I really want to change.
