Humbled beyond measure

Joyjmb

Was in the gym recently, doing a workout on a rowing machine. A trainer walked by with a new client to the gym, a woman, (not sure the weight, maybe 350?) who was having trouble walking. The trainer was talking to her about increasing cardio and improving mostly her flexibility.
I heard her ask, 'Ultimately, do you have a goal? What kind of body are you looking to achieve?' The client replied, 'Um, I don't know, but maybe something more like... HER.' I had just glanced to the side and realized this woman was POINTING AT ME. ME, across the gym.
My body was someone's goal.

I mostly cried all the way home. Just couldn't believe it.
I already have what she will work so hard to achieve.
I'm giving thanks every day for my 252 lb body that moves and works.
I will BE your goal - thank you for choosing ME.
I will make us proud.

Wow. I almost cried reading that. It must've been a great feeling.

I'm 340lbs and all I really want is my body to move like it should. I don't want to be a size 0. I couldn't care less about things like that. I'm very much like that woman at the gym. I'll pick out people who move and aspire to be like them.

AWESOME! Sometimes I get so caught up in myself and my troubles that I don't realize that I have good qualities and life aint so bad afterall.

Thanks for sharing - you ROCK!

The thought occurs to me on a regular basis that I have the body so many other people wish they had. But even a year ago, I had the body someone much bigger than me would want. Now I'm a lot closer to the body I have wanted for so long than I have ever been. But still, I wish to be smaller and healthier. I guess I'll never be complacent (and I'm not sure there's anything wrong with that!).

It's so good to recognize what you have and how fortunate you are.

Edit: Wow, my first sentence sounded so vain but I promise I didn't mean it that way. I meant that in a less vain, more stop-being-so-self-loathing kind of way.
