Why You Should Never Give Up : A Short Story I Wrote

A Short Story about Weight Loss and Never Giving Up

There was a client that had lost complete hope in herself. She could not stand to look at herself in the mirror. Thoughts about what she wanted to look like and how “perfect” everyone else was made her fall deeper into her mental prison. 

She was completely hopeless and depressed. She daydreamed about all of the amazing things that would change in her life if she could only lose the weight. She simply could not believe that she had allowed herself to get to this level. 

Going shopping for clothes was an embarrassment. Dating life? Forget about it. She simply did not have the energy or pride to even present herself out there in the world. 

One day she decided she needed a change. She was tired of her life and where it was going. She thought to herself “if I keep this up where will I be 10 years from now?”

The answer to that question was a scary thought. It was not where she wanted to be, so she decided to get a gym membership. 

Getting the gym membership was one of the most intimidating and humiliating things that she had to go through. All of her self doubt and fears were going to be out there in the open where people could judge her every move and even worse, her body. 

She almost thought of cancelling her membership and quitting. She did not know what to expect at the gym but she weighed her options and decided that she was going to do whatever it took to change her life. 

Day in and day out she started off with the regular routine of wanting to lose her lower belly fat, tone up her arms, get rid of her back fat, and lean up her inner and outer thighs. 

She was lost though. Working out was something that she had never done before. 

As the weeks passed she saw very little results and became very discouraged. She thought “what’s the point?”.

After she gave in to some self pity, she remained brave and kept going despite her insecurities and frustration. She made a commitment and was determined to change her life. 

After a couple of months she decided to be pro active and started reading fitness blogs and magazines. She wanted to educate herself on how to tackle her obstacles and reach her goals. 

She immediately started to apply the tips that she was learning and slowly but surely got comfortable with the new techniques. 

She became more educated on how her body was and what she could do to help change it. 

Her attitude changed immensely. She now felt like she had hope.

Results started to come and the scale was getting lower and lower each week. 

After months of training she finally hit her goal weight. Needless to say, she changed her life forever. She owes it all to not giving up on her dream and most importantly on herself. 

And guess what? She found herself a boyfriend. 

Never give up on yourself.
