Today I participated in a competition/ event at my local gym.
BACKGROUND: I have ALWAYS been overweight and at times obese my entire life. I’ve always been un-athletic, uncoordinated, and an all around joke doing anything physical. However, I had become disgusted with how unhealthy I had become and decided to commit to change 5 months ago. Since May 1st I’ve been going to the gym 5x a week and eating in a caloric deficit. I’ve lost 40 pounds in that time.
So when I heard about this competition coming up at my gym I thought why not challenge myself. I joined and it was today.
You guys...
I was dead! It was so incredibly hard and honestly the hardest I’ve ever pushed myself in my life. I burned 900 calories in less than an hour because I was working HARD. I was determined to not finish last. I am TIRED of being the fat/ chubby /un-athletic girl. I just want to be a normal person of normal ability. And I finished 6th place out of 12!
I finally feel like I’ve made it. I feel like an actual capable fit person. I am just so proud of myself for making it this far and becoming this person I’ve always wanted to be. I want this for myself, so bad. And I can feel it getting closer.
If you think something is hard or that you’re incapable of it, please do it. You will thank yourself.
