Comment on Weight a Minute! by Tracy Cox

Yes, we are magnificent! Jeans and all.

Wanted you to know (sometimes it helps to know), that many times we are the only person that really cares about our pant size. Agreed, holding on to that energy keeps us from truly realizing our potential.

A casual comment and nudge from you last summer at DCAC has been a catalyst for my daughter, Kelsey. She has not only begun to steer her health into a more positive direction (weight loss is a result of this); but her attitude has improved immensely — that’s hard to do with a 16 year old!!!!

This weekend she is attending a youth leadership conference and just received a recommendation from her teachers for a full scholarship (fine arts). A healthy lifestyle equals a health attitude; which affects everything else we experience.

Thanks for doing what you do.

Thank you so much for this entry! I am 26 yrs old and have struggled with my weight all of my life. Even at my thinnest, a size 4, I was still called fat by my peers. Years later I am losing the weight once again and am finding that is doesn’t come off as easily as it used to. 40 lbs and 5 jean sizes later, I am still struggling to get back into a 12, let alone a 10 (my average size yrs ago). I’ve become obsessed with the scale and the number on my jeans that I have forgotten to live at times. I have put my life, my marriage, and even the thought of having children off until I reach that “prefect size”. Truth be told I may or may not ever reach that size and this self loathing of my body needs to stop and today! Like you said it’s about health, if I have a healthy body then that’s all that matters. I need to continue to improve my fitness and strength, and of course making the best choices that I can. I need to live for the “now” and be the best that I can be! I can no longer allow a number to define who I am, for if I do, I will never allow myself to live to my fullest potential. I’ve wasted too many years already hating myself, my body, and self esteem; it’s time to become something more than what others think I should be!

Thank you!

Hi Petra,

It is always a treat to get an email from you, but today’s was very special! I have been through your website and I must say, it was worth the wait! You have always been an inspiration to me and my kids too (who have grown up watching me do your workouts, and eventually working out with me). Thanks so much and keep doing what you are doing, my friend!

Blessings!
Alexis
