Don't let your weight hold you back!

I've been waiting my whole life to be thinner to be able to fully enjoy life and try new things. I'm tired of waiting! I faced my fears and tried out an aerial silks class - and I'm so glad I did! After just a couple classes, I can already see progress in what I'm able to do. I feel stronger and proud. So go try out whatever you've been putting off - life is too short and you might surprise yourself with what you CAN do!

That's so wonderful: Go, you! That looks very fun.

I couldn't agree more with your point here, and would add age in addition to weight to that "don't let it hold you back" list.

When I was obese and age 47, I started learning to row - those long skinny boats like in the Olympics, only mine is lots slower. Even though I had been one of those "chosen last in gym class" kids, I fell in love with it and slowly improved. The quality of life increase from getting stronger and fitter was huge, let alone the fun I was having learning and doing it.

You're absolutely right: Like you, I surprised myself with what I could do, and I'm betting others can do that too. Any of us may have true physical limitations we need to accommodate, but there's no reason to let fear, weight, or age be barriers to trying things we may be able to do. No point in missing out on the fun . . . or the other benefits.
