Arriving at the Park, “Gym Body” Ready
Arriving at the water park, Madelyn could see people of all ages, shapes, and sizes frolicking in and around the pool area. She was happy to see this, as she figured that she wouldn’t stand out too much in the crowd, and she could blend in with all the “normal” people. Little did she know that one of the members of staff had been keeping an eye on her since she entered, ready to confront her about what she was wearing.
Strengthening Her Mind and Body
Anybody who has been on a weight-loss journey knows that it requires many personal changes, discipline, and a lot of hard work. Madelyn’s “slow and steady” approach also did wonders in allowing her to strengthen her mind alongside her body, resulting in her feeling confident and happy once she hit her goal weight. For some people, especially those who have lost a large amount of weight, the negative self-talk still persists. Madelyn didn’t want to entertain the self-talk, but an encounter with the water park staff would shake up the foundation of all the hard work she had done so far.
