Hey Beka,
Remember that girl who reached out to you about her online fitness community two years ago?
You were in a weird place at the time. You had just had a baby three months ago. Your body was still strange to you. You had lost most of the baby-weight, and you were back in your pre-pregnancy clothes, but you felt small instead of strong. You did not like what you saw in the mirror anymore. You promised yourself you would jump back into the workout program that you had been doing for the past 2 year, but you didn’t. With all of life’s changes, you could not find the time. You did not have the motivation to start from square one again. You tried to do it alone but you could not. You had zero accountability.
So when that girl asked you to join her fitness community, you considered it. You had been watching her for months, secretly wondering what she was doing. She looked healthy. She looked happy. She was talking about a life of freedom. Freedom to love her body, freedom to eat the food she wanted, even a financial freedom that she was creating for herself through this business opportunity. She talked about goals and dreams. You watched her meet those goals one at a time.
But when she asked you to jump in with her, you balked. You thought people would judge you for falling into this trap. At home workout programs? Seriously? You even joked about how ridiculous the idea seemed. It had to be a gimmick. A fad. A get slim quick program. Your exact words were, “Why should I pay for a program and STILL have to put in all the work myself when I can just find something for free?”
You gave her some bullshit excuse like you just were not ready to commit the time. She told you 30 minutes was so easy to find in a day. There was no way 30 minutes was all it took to get into shape… anyway, what did she know about time? She was not a mother. She had not just had a baby. Did she even work full-time or was her life just devoted to fitness? It had to be a ploy. After all, it was her job to sell me on this program. It was her job to act like it was easy and manageable for everyone! Selling this to me was how she was going to create that financial freedom she talked about.
But you know what Beka, it was not a gimmick. She was what you needed.
Do NOT roll your eyes at me! Two years down the road you are going to reach out to that girl. Not because you suddenly have a lot of free time, or some extra cash on hand. You are going to reach out to her because you are desperate and you are struggling and you are looking for anything that you think will help.
And she will help. The fitness community she was offering will help. The simple at home workouts will help. The easy to follow meal plans that are laid out for you with no guesswork will help. Having a group of women who have all been where you are will help. They have babies. They have jobs. They have husbands and houses and school and responsibilities and lives. They are all doing what you need to be doing.
You are gonna wish you had jumped in with her that very first day. But that’s OK! You are doing it now. You are making the changes to improve yourself. You are working on yourself for yourself, but also for your son and your husband. They deserve a you who is happy and healthy.
That girl was not trying to sell you something, she was offering you what someone had once offered her! She was giving you the same opportunity she was given and accepted!
