When People Stare

When I first started to go at the gym, I was extremely self conscious about my body.  First off because I was over 350lbs but because some people just look at you funny when you are attempting to do exercises on the machines, when you are that heavy. Thank goodness that at my gym there was a more private room where you could train in, where there wasn't as many "starers." But the one thing that I learned very fast is that you should not worry about those staring at you. Why? Because you are at the gym becoming a better version of yourself. You are there making a change. So why let those stares bother you? Those stares will turn into envy when you start to see results! But what you will also find at the gym is a lot of people who are also there to motivate you! I have created many friendships at the gym. People like people who have dedication, and will not stop until they get what they want, and when they get what they want they still keep going. Some stares are people cheering you on. A smile that some stranger gives you can help you through a fast paced workout. People who you don't know complementing you on your progress. Let me tell you what! That is an amazing feeling! So don't let those haters get you down! The only person you have to prove what you got is yourself. So let them stare, well you do your thing! BEAST MODE!

Making the Choice

It is a very hard thing to decide to lose weight. Why? Well first off it is really scary! Because even though you may not know it, but you are not going to be the same person anymore. For some people that is a really hard concept to accept. Change is hard. And sticking to the change is even harder. But once you make the choice, you will not regret! Trust me! I know I haven't!

When you are working out, we are at our most vulnerable stage. But through that vulnerability we find our strength and that strength creates a BEAST.

A person that we did not know we could be.
So don't give up. Because we are all BEAST! No matter where we are in our goals! Because you took initiative to make the change!

BEAST LIFE!

Doing the cliche thing and posting a picture!

This is my progress picture! So that way you don't think I am lying to you or anything. The picture on the left I was 330lbs, the picture on the right I am 270lbs. That is a total of 60lbs that I have lost in the past 9 months. So far it has not been easy one bit! There are so many things that come with loosing weight. But you just have to keep pushing!!!!
