I have been active the majority of my life. I stopped working out for two years and I gained 37 lbs. At the time I thought I looked fine...I got attention from guys...my family did not say anything. All of my friends at the time did not say anything either I just did not see a problem image wise being 152 pounds...
So what got me back into the work out game?... One day I bought a pair of Victoria Secret's boy shorts...for a sexy halloween costume. LOL what was I thinking? I'm not really a sexy halloween costume kinds gal anyway?....I'm glad I was out of my mind because that was the turning point for me!
I looked in the mirror and holy cow!!! Cellulite where hamstrings are suppose to be!!! From that day on I made a promise to myself to change.
I did not buy new clothes...nada b/c I did not want to get comfortable with the image of being overweight. (Which honesty I never looked at myself as being overweight)
So I hit the gym and I keep trying to achieve higher and higher goals.
