Weight lose! Ugh, an every day struggle for the fat person. I've been fighting my inner fattie for way too long. Never being happy with your body takes an emotional toll. I'm tired. I'm ready for a major change. At one point I had lost about 100lbs just to gain almost all of it back after a couple years. But I can still remember how if felt. Losing that weight felt empowering, almost like I could do anything I wanted. I want that feeling back! And i want to accomolish goals in my life. Being fat has always held me back but not anymore!
I had my son about 16 months ago and I made a promise not to let him be fat like I am. To teach him to eat right and how important exercise is. At first I didnt get with the program. It wasnt until he started wanting to eat off my plate and all I was eating was junk did it really hit me. The only way he has a chance is if I change, so I did.
About 3 months ago my gym needed a Zumba instructor. My fiance had heard about it and told them that I loved Zumba. Well they wanted me to try out. So many thoughts ran through my head. This was a dream job for me but there was alot of what ifs. What if no one wanted a fat instructor? What if i couldnt get up in front of a whole bunch of ppl? What if I sucked? Well i did it anyway. I put myself out there and even went to get certified at the end of May. 37 lbs lost later I realized that as a bigger instructor I could be a bigger inspiration. My students are not only inspired by me but they are what inspires me. I've turned my whole life around.
My next goal. Work towards becoming more involved with fitness. I want to get certified in group fitness. The more knowledge I have the more I can help other ppl. Never would this at one time 300lb girl think she would be a fitness instructor!! Cant wait to see what the next year brings!!
