A very sad yet very inspiring story. Life threw her a huge curveball: a completely unexpected, horrible accident. It must be so difficult to believe and accept that something like this has happened to you. And she fights back and goes to the gym 5 days a week!
“Very often, winners are the losers that decided to try one more time.”
“Even when you feel miserable inside, make a point to smile and go through the motions -people will positively interact with you and pick you up. Same applies to fitness: you must go through the motion when you feel like quitting -whenever you do something good for you, you will reap the benefits of strong health esteem.”
Jackie Warner
“Dig in and get after it. When you think you don’t have more, that’s when you need to fight. This is the part that counts. Only when you get uncomfortable do things happen, does change occur.”
Jillian Michael in her workout video ‘Ripped in 30’
Fitness advice from years ago: Jack Lalanne over problems: ”Isn’t it smarter to be happy with the problem than to be miserable with it?”.
NOTHING IS IMPOSSIBLE
Although nutrition and workout plans are important, the most important ingredient to fitness (according to me) is fun. If you are not having fun, you are missing out!
Fitness isn’t fun for you? Look for new activities, try different locations, different trainers, invite different people to join or change your fitness routine. Fun fitness allows you to stay motivated, make friends and share your passion with others.

I'm 15 and I am active but overweight. I want to lose weight and I have everything I need but I don't know if I'll be able to keep up with it. Is there any thing I can do to keep myself motivated and not quit?
Hi! I’m very sorry in advance for my ‘though-love’ answer: Stop the self-doubt “I don’t know if I’ll be able to keep up with it!”-thing: if you don’t believe in yourself, no one else will.
Here are a few tips to avoid quitting:
#1 Make it fun: download your favorite music for your workouts, go to your favorite classes at the gym, go workout with your best friend, notice cute guys at the gym, buy yourself a new pair of Nikes or a new workout outfit. Anything that makes you look forward to your workouts.
#2 Define your priorities: put yourself and your workouts first. Don’t do second things (surfing on the internet, on tumblr, watching tv…) first. There is no point in saying we don’t have time for something because we make time for whatever is important to us. If you are not doing something, it’s because it isn’t a priority in your life.
#3 Stay consistent without being too hard on yourself: your life is not controlled by what you do some of the time, it’s controlled by what you do consistently 80% of the time. “Small things, done consistently, create major impact.”
#4 Discipline actually helps you: you may be thinking, Yes, but it sure hurts. That is true, but is also brings results and makes your life simple and organized.
Go out there and prove yourself to the world and to yourself. You CAN and WILL achieve what you set out to do. The only time you fail is when you quit.
This is an excerpt of Jackie Warner’s book “This is why you’re fat” that I’m currently reading. I think this part is interesting because this is a bit how I used to feel a few years ago. I always sucked at every sport at school and just saw myself as somebody who sucked at exercising. But actually, nobody suck at fitness and exercise.
“Tricks of the trade: See yourself as an athlete”
“When I tell my clients that I see the athlete in them, they actually work harder and complete those last five reps. Your behavior is consistent with your identity. In other words, the way you see yourself determines your actions and behavior. Therefore, with regard to exercise, the more you identify with physical activity as part of who you are, the more likely you are to stick to physical activity and make it part of your lifestyle.
I challenge you to take a good, hard look at how you see yourself. When you look in the mirror, do you see a lazy, fat, out-of-shape person? If so, your behavior will follow to match that identity -you will in effect act like and be a lazy, fat, out-of-shape person. You’ll hesitate to put on your gym clothes, because you’ll be saying to yourself, What am I thinking? I’m no exerciser! Just look at all this ugly flesh!
On the other hand, if you see your inner athlete, motivated to change… Guess what? You become that person.”
