Enough is Enough!

Hi to all MFP friends,
It's so awesome to see how people are wanting to better themselves through health and fitness and I remember how HARD it was to just start. That feeling of doubt, feeling of people looking at me differently, the feeling of wanting instant gratification was so strong. Other areas of my life were affected just as bad. My schooling suffered, my motivation to live each day better was gone...I was maintaining life and NOT living it, my relationships were a battling process daily (especially with father). I did the roller coaster workouts and the roller coaster weight loss so I had a roller coaster life. My story, of my friend asking me to be in her wedding changed my entire life. (Weird to think, but it did). I couldn't imagine how much I had gained until I couldn't zip up a size 10 dress. I was stunned with myself. What happened? Where did that weight even come from? That was the finally straw! I decided then to just make an investment in myself and worked at dropping the pounds for her big day. Success was found through my first ever workout program I completed! Thank-you Brazilian Butt Lift! I felt so successful and so gratified and RENEWED. Down to a size 4 dress on her big day (this was a 5 month process) and I was so happy for her, but even more happy for myself!! I wasn't getting married, but I formed a commitment with me that ENOUGH was ENOUGH! I didn't want to feel inadequate anymore. As my body changed so did my diet, attitude, personality, views on life, dreams ( I was dreaming again of a better life), confidence. I was happy! I smiled more! I laughed more! I wanted people to feel this too! I gained the courage to forgive my father and myself of over 10 years of pent up anger and bitterness. I had the courage to ask the questions I wanted to know for years but felt to inadequate to care. I just said ENOUGH and my life has gone in a completely different direction. I've paid off student loans, I've graduated from college, I've passed my gymnastics judging test all because I said enough! If you've ever felt this, I know how you feel. Success is in sight for anyone of us! If you're ready to make change...YOU CAN! Just stand up and say ENOUGH!
