Now that I'm training for competitions, I hear a lot of this..."I could never do what you do because I wasn't blessed with a high metabolism."
In my opinion:
You had a high metabolism at the age of 6 because you rode your bike everywhere, went to gymnastics or dance class every week or played on the softball team. What do you do now as an adult? Most would say that they sit at a desk all day, go home to cook for the family, put the kids to bed and then finally sit down to watch TV. I see. And then I hear that you weren't blessed with a high metabolism. You were at least blessed with a brain, use it!
Become a healthier version of you if you choose to do so. I agree that competing is over-the-top and I am absolutely not saying that everyone should try it, but if you are not satisfied with your appearance or your health, at least stop with the excuses and do something about it. You must be willing to plan your healthy meals and make time for physical activity. When you are ready to become a positive role model for your family and friends, make the commitment and stick with it. Effort means very little without results.
Agree or disagree?
