Tonight someone reached out to me. We connected a month or so ago. We spoke about their weight loss ideas, fitness and nutrition.
Today this person reached out to me again. Apologized for not following up sooner and mentioned their hesitation was the uncomfortable feeling of change.
Oh my gosh was this an epiphany for me.
I’m accustomed to people never again contacting me, or contacting me a year later or one month later. It’s the nature of the fitness professional beast. It’s normal.
But what this person said, or rather how they worded it, truly hit home.
As I said to her…Change is very uncomfortable for all of us. And fitness is something most people truly dislike. I don’t think it’s because we lift heavy s**t and put it back down….it’s being vulnerable. As women, we are also shining a big ass spotlight on our perceived physical flaws. Not a warm and fuzzy feeling.
Aaaaand here is me! Flaws out the ass. My big ass to be quite honest. My legs are the size of tree trunks and now I have fu***ng wrinkles. And while I acknowledge I’m not physically where I want to be I am not apologizing . Not one bit. I am who I am and so are all my clients. We are all a work in progress. But my true goal is to help us love ourselves just as we are….yet knowing we have a better version and are willing to put in the work mentally and physically.
Inside my head I always knew this to be me and what I do. Yet I never was able to formulate the right words.
If this person allows me help with their “better version of thyself” journey…I too will learn and grow and be a better version of myself ♥️
