My posture says so much more about my progress than my waistline. My self confidence and efficacy has exploded since that first picture was taken. Working as an exercise physiologist, personal trainer and group fitness instructor used to make me uncomfortable. Even though I was well educated, trained, and certified, I still thought “why would anyone listen to my advice on health and fitness?” Now I think “Obviously I know what I’m talking about!” I am walking the walk AND talking the talk.
I have made lots of changes to my lifestyle in the past year, but one of the biggest motivators I found for myself was joining dietbets. Not only did I put real money on the line if I didn’t lose the weight, but I was involved in a huge group of people with a common, short-term goal. If I ever lost my steam or was discouraged by a plateau, I went to the message boards and found inspiration! Having a support system kept me going when it was tough, and let me know it was ok to be human.
Remember that someone else’s success is not your failure!
