This motivated me to get a job to be able to afford the personal trainer
My mother as well as father, sister as well as sister, aunts, uncles as well as cousins are all larger people, but the whole family is severely overweight as well as multiple of my relatives are obese! I grew up eating a big dinner that included waffles, bacon, donuts, danishes as well as pancakes, then my pal and I often got take-out, drive-thru or some type of fast food for dinner. There were always popcorn in the cupboard. I had easy access to potato pretzels, popcorn, chocolate, twinkies, cookies as well as soda. I was never encouraged to go outside as well as play or to do anything physical. My family watched a lot of cable, played board games as well as made sundaes for a treat. I entirely wanted to go out for volleyball, softball or gymnastics during college but was too intimidated, then because of being overweight, I became seriously introverted. I never joined any clubs or attended any college activities. It wasn’t until I went away to college that I started making changes for the better. I learned that my college tuition included free access to the college’s fitness center. I was also able to sign up for a consultation with a nutritionist, however she helped me to design a healthy meal plan that included lots of fruits, vegetables as well as lean proteins. She taught me the importance of drinking lots of water, avoiding empty calories as well as getting sufficient vitamins as well as minerals. She also recommended that I work with a personal trainer. This motivated me to get a job to be able to afford the personal trainer. The job forced me to become more outgoing, but although it felt like the personal trainer was trying to kill me, she was entirely lovely. The combination of those difficult workouts as well as better eating habits worked to get rid of the extra weight, build muscle as well as get me feeling confident as well as healthy.
