My friend, Angela has been struggling with weight issues for most of her life.
The problem has worsened this past year and a half.
I have felt bad for her, because her weight is affecting all areas of her life. She has been struggling with depression and no longer likes to leave the house. She’s given up many of her favorite hobbies. I suggested that she sign up for a membership at the local fitness center. The place just opened up and is super modern and well-equipped. Angela was reluctant to join a fitness center because she was so self-conscious about how she looks. I explained that everyone is there to get in shape. People are at all levels of fitness and don’t judge. Most people are far too concentrated on their own workout to pay any attention to what someone else is doing. Angela has been going to the fitness center for nearly six months now. She recently signed up with a private personal trainer as well. She is beginning to see results. She’s lost weight and toned her muscles. She’s feeling stronger and healthier and this has led to more energy and confidence. I am so happy for her! She told me that because of working out at the fitness center and her personal trainer, she feels better than ever. Angela is still working to reach her goals. She has a perfect weight in mind. She plans to celebrate by buying herself a treadmill for her home. Her weight loss plan is going really well. She has begun changing her diet as well. She is no longer eating fast food or drinking pop. She has added vegetables and fruit to her diet and started going for walks every evening.
