Too fat to exercise...

4lelito

I remember starting many sentences with this I am too fat...
I am too fat to go to the gym
I am too fat to go hiking
I am too fat to swim
I am too fat to be active
This year I decided to grow up and put those excuses to a halt. It has been difficult and I am sometimes discouraged but I keep on going..and I feel great about myself I don't use those excuses anymore. I learned that I am my own worst enemy along this journey..I push myself and in the end I enjoy the results I started at a whopping 338/340 maybe more..I avoided the scale like a plague I am now at a 304.6 to be exact I exercise and eat better (most of the time) I do cheat but I control myself..I am so excited to see how this year ends. I really hope that no other person out there tells themselves the same thing I did.. I hope you will love yourself enough to make the change..No matter what number you see in the scale you are able to change it I did and so can you my support and love Jess

I find your words inspirational.

Whenever I was at the gym and saw a really large person, I always thought to myself, "I hope to see this person again every week." I was secretly rooting them on.

I hope that whomever else who is afraid to go the gym out of fear of what others think, should consider that there may be others like myself, truly hoping you find success in your journey, without judgment at all.

That is fantastic! I saw the post title and was all set to come here and say "No one is too fat to exercise!" And then you had already said it (in so many words). Good for you!

There is a really fat lady at our gym who I overheard having a conversation with the personal trainer. She is 62 and wants to lose over a hundred pounds by next January, when her birthday is. She started this Janurary. She is still there, training with her personal trainer at eight in the morning three or four times a week. I am really hoping she reaches her goal. There are many overweight and obese people at the gym. That's the whole reason for going to the gym, to lose weight! (Well, for most of us) So don't ever feel weird about it.

You Are A W E S O M E!

December 2011, I weighed in at 307...I am currently 273.

I bought a ski machine in January...when I first got on it, my feet hurt after two minutes...so my first official workout was 2 minutes.
Then I went five, then ten, then fifteen, then twenty....now I do 25 minutes plus 5 minutes of sprints and 3 x a week weight training and some aerobics. I quit watching TV b/c I realized that hours and hours would go by and the only thing I got off the couch for was food and the potty....

Once you make a decision, it's the next steps and taking it day by day that matters.

Well done you~It's so wonderful to see someone 'Love Yourself Thin'

Doing it for the right reason is the first step.
Setting mini goals and challenging yourself are the next steps.
Developing a healthy relationship with food is a key ingredient.
and
Never giving up....is the most critical.

Congratulations!:flowerforyou:

Wow! Keep up the good work! Thank you for this post. I often find myself thinking "I am too fat to do this or that" but I have found it is important to not let the negative thoughs take a hold of me. Leogirl724, I love the saying "love yourself thin"!

I so feel the same way. I was once the obese person scared of what others may think and now I'm a healthier person secretly sending positive vibes to those that are where I once were who are working towards where I am now.

OP....you are amazing and what you've written is very inspirational. I wish you much success in your journey. You've already made a huge progress and thats tackling your own way of thinking. Kudos.
