healthy obsession?

When I had to decide what I wanted this blog to be about the first thing that came to mind was the gym and being healthy. For the past four years this is all my life has consisted of besides school so it is just natural for me. I talk about it all the time anyway so why not blog about it.

All my life I was always the chubby kid. I know everyone had one time or another gone through that but my time lasted much longer than most. During my sophomore year of high school I decided to change the way i was living my life. My mom put our entire family on a diet and i seemed to be the only one to follow through. The obsessive part about it all did not come about until last summer(2009) when I started to see a personal trainer. I learned everything a person needs to know about healthy eating, exercising, and essentially making it a lifestyle.

I said obsession because that is kind of what it has turned into. Not an unhealthy obsession but a good one... sometimes. I go to the gym 6 days a week and monitor pretty much everything I eat. My worst fear is getting back to those chubby days and not having control over what I look like.

I named this blog The Gym... the Love of My Life because essentially Gym is my boyfriend. Always there for me, always makes me feel good about myself, and I know everything about it. If my main career goal doesn't work out, being a personal trainer is my fall back. I always love sharing my knowledge with people and this is a good way to at least share with some.
