There are many times I am ashamed that I ever allowed myself to become a morbidly obese person in the past..... This following comment makes me realize that everything in life happens for a reason and this may be the reason I had to go through my fitness journey... This is from one of my friends and Y member: I know this is definitely not your best photo, but it was a lifechanger for me because it inspired me to work harder and to reach for the stars! When I first took your class I thought you were nuts, thinking to myself of course its a piece of cake for this skinny chick..lol..Then one day you told me your story & pulled out this photo as proof..Thats when it sunk in...This is what kept me in your classes, even though I hated the work at first & cried through them when I was still fat..Knowing this is what led to my own success & helped me take you seriously, that & listening to my gut feeling...Above the Barre is what helped me take it a step further and realize all that I was capable of doing which even led me to surviving my adventure on the mountain & being able to run 13 miles...Me, the 234 pound white chick who couldnt dance & pretty much limped into your class, not knowing which Zumba class to take, just hoping to enjoy music & dance myself back into shape while having fun after having my appendix out, realizing I was screwed as soon as the music started..lol..luckily listening to your advice after class to try it at least 7 or 8 times before giving up..Thank God you said that! Then 2 years later, I am sitting in ICU, depressed as hell when this photo pops up on Facebook, creating another happy thought for me, as I instantly saw it as a message, kind of a sign from God to not give up...That same day I decided to stairclimb again & do what I could at the hospital, determined to not give up on myself..Oh the timing! I cant even put into words how much that meant to me! Thankyou so much, My Friend! You definitely have a gift!
