Fighting for Fit

Welcome fit, fabulous people!

I am sure that with the start of the new year there will be an influx of new fitblrs and that is fantastic! Welcome people! My name is Amy and I have lost about 70 pounds since June, and I’m always willing to talk about my journey. I follow back the healthy positive fitblrs and non fitblrs who follow me from my personal blog, astamand24.

Today at the gym I heard some girls talking about me.

“She’s so good!”

“I know, she’s here all the time!”

I have been so much worse about snacking lately.

I seriously hope I can chalk it up to my period. Because I’ll just be sitting at home, like hmmmmmm i need peanut butter, now I need chocolate, now I’m craving yogurt, now I really want some carbs (but I still can’t have those). It’s really bad. Please let this go away!

Tonight one of the women at my gym told me I was an inspiration.

It really hit me. This is probably the nicest compliment I have received. I get a lot of “you look great”s and the like, but this compliment spoke more to my value as a person, my ability to affect others in their journeys. 

It’s just really nice to hear that after the amount of work you put in, the time, the dedication. To have someone not only notice it, but be inspired by it. That is the greatest feeling in the world. 

Today my mom says to me, “Now you aren’t going to get too skinny and have health problems, are you?”

What? Who do you people think I am? No, everything I have been doing is healthy for my body. I don’t have a freaking eating disorder. I eat foods that are healthy for me and I eat enough of them. 

I don’t use diet pills or fast. I get adequate amounts of sleep. I’m in the gym every day. 

Good grief, I am trying to get rid of health problems. I don’t understand what is with the weirdness of my parents about me losing weight. Like, yes I will probably end up weighing less than I did in middle school. But that is because I was seriously overweight in middle school. Gahhhh
