As someone who’s not exactly into the athletic-to-fat kink, I’m curious: what’s y’all’s take on those trainers who get fat and then back to fit with their clients?
that was kind of my plan a few years ago... take some time off from the gym, have fun, indulge... and then eventually get back into shape.
it turned out i liked the fun & indulgence part a little more than i expected, lol! so my weight went from 150 to 180, and i thought, "i'm so close to 200 - let's see what that feels like."
i didn't get back to the gym until after i'd gone well past 200 lbs... and it was such a challenge, i got discouraged. i tried to get back into working out a couple of times, but i felt very discouraged by how hard it was, and tbh, embarrassed by how far out of shape i had become.
plus, i'd really discovered the joy of food - something that really hadn't registered with me prior. really diving into the world of food (and drink!) and all the different flavours really became a new passion for me, which made cutting back so hard.
i think if you watch those gimmicky tv shows, they put on 20 or 25 lbs, and yeah, they can lose that. it's because they haven't really embraced that lifestyle. i think i just waited too long, lol!
