love this post, I totally agree! I’ve always been an athlete, and so were my sisters, but I am/was fat and they have always been thin. I don’t understand it. But being an athlete is so satisfying, no matter your size! I’m actually looking forward to being able to exercise again.

I'm so used to losing to the boys in the family its ingrained! Especially this afternoon at both badminton and cricket! It's all about your definition of an athlete I guess. I know I'll never be an athlete but I think I equate athlete with like famous people. *shrugs* Don't know why... But good luck to you missus! wildfluffysheep’s last blog post..the sun is shining and things are looking up.....

I think you answered your question yourself. It is just a lifestyle change. If you want to be an athlete, you just gotta start living like an athlete. Good post. South Beach Steve’s last blog post..Day 239 - Long Day, Short Post

I am a HORRIBLE athlete. When I was in elem school they sent me to a special ed for GYM because I’m so uncoordinated and I’m just as bad now lol. No one in my family is particuarly athletic, although my brother is a pretty good dancer. Even though I’m a super klutz I still have fun going to things like kickboxing class where I laugh at myself for messing up all the combos that everyone else is dancing to. Just have fun with it.

You can totally be an athlete. I mean I play sports every Sunday and I'm definitely not the fittest, fastest, or strongest. All it takes is to do it :) FLG’s last blog post..Little Things
