My story about Exercising Again and How I overcome the difficulties in front of me

 This post is going to be a little bit different and tell the story of what happened to me and why I started to exercise.  I hope my story will push you to work out or show you how it is possible to lose weight.

I think it is important to mention that in High School, I was always playing sports or working out so when Covid first hit I did not know what to do.  I was in college and was liked in our apartment with nothing to do.  So what do all college kids do?  We were playing video games all day and then on the weekends would start to drink.  These two things do not go well with each other when you are not having any sort of physical activity.  So, this was on for a few months, and I hadn't noticed any change until I stepped on the scale.  This was the heaviest I have ever been in my life and I was in really good shape at one point and was very muscular.  So I knew I had to do something about this.  Two things really motivated me to work out: I wanted to look good without a shirt on, which is a common thought for many people, and I wanted to feel like an athlete again in my life.

So after I finally saw how bad my habits were, I thought it would be tough to get back to the point where I was in High School when I was an athlete.  This was a very tough thought to get out of my head and the first few weeks of working out, I was frustrated because I was not as strong or as fast as I used to be.  I think this set me back a little because I became less motivated in becoming what I wanted to become and started to not follow my diet and have lazy workouts.  However, my friend I talked about in an earlier blog helped me change those thoughts into motivating thoughts.  He talked to me about how I could look better than I have ever before and be more athletic and stronger than I ever was.  This was a really big moment in my life because for some reason my whole attitude flipped.  I saw all of this as an opportunity rather than something that I kept using as an excuse.  

I started to look at all the people who have lost tons of weight and were in worse shape than me and saw them overcome near-impossible tasks.  One of these videos I watched was the biggest inspiration I have ever seen.  I want all of you guys that think you are struggling with weight and that it is impossible to change to watch this video.  This video is about a man named Jesse Shand who lost over 300 pounds.  

So basically, I want all of you guys to know you can do it with the right attitude.  I myself am in the best shape of my life and feel better than I ever have before while thinking I could never do it.  There are tons of other stories like Jesse Shand and how the whole fitness industry was trying to help this man.
