Thank you so much for reading!

I know exactly what you mean, Remember those awful physical fitness tests? I, too, was always chosen last (or excluded, like you said) from team sports. It’s hard not to just assume we weren’t “meant” to be physically active.

It is not an easy road at all, but you CAN do this! I still struggle every day to keep the weight off and to continue engaging in activities like running without feeling like some kind of imposter. But it CAN be done!

Please do feel free to follow me on Twitter/Facebook, subscribe to my blog, etc. I’d love to keep in touch!

Thanks again!

Jen

I was always excluded from team sports and never did well in running tests through school. Eventually, I gave up and decided these activities weren’t for me. I’m having to work hard each day now to convince myself that I CAN do these things and that I CAN lose weight and have a fun, active life. It’s not an easy road, so I salute your hard work and the struggle it takes to get there.
