Anita Sailer beat me to it! I wanted to make sure I shared my fitness story so that you all, no matter what it is, felt comfortable sharing yours. My fitness story began a few years ago, when my dad passed away in a car accident and I was MAD! I was not a happy person, angry, heartbroken and lost I turned to exercise to try and help with the anxiety and depression that I was experiencing. It helped. I continued with it but I didnt have my diet under control. I gained weight and was discouraged. I was gifted with a job at Anytime Fitness where I have lost a total of 30lbs in the last two years. It has been a process of heart, strength, and confidence within myself to push myself harder physically which we all know comes with insecurities and the mental attitude as well. As I just finished up participating in my first figure competition I feel blessed. It was something I NEVER dreamed I would do. But I needed something for me... to work towards and to focus on. I feel like every step I took brought me to this day where I feel beautiful and strong and capable of whatever I put my mind to. I am living proof that not only does exercise help take care of your body but it heals your mind and heart as well. I hope this encourages you that everyone comes from somewhere... that its not all about looking good on the outside but the transformation that happens on the inside while you work on the outside and The strength internally that you feel when you feel strong physically. Love you ladies. Happy Thursday.
