Love the picture of this old piece of exercise equipement I spied at Canton First Monday trade days.
Even when I weighed 310 lbs I was very interested in health and fitness. I just wasn't doing what needed to be done to get the weight off. Part of it was due to severe depression. I used to pick up issues of weight loss of fitness magazines and feel awkward. I just knew people wondered why this huge woman was bothering with these magazines.
It just dawned on me the other day that almost every time I have stood in line for an autograph it has a big pop star or artist but the have all been fitness or sports related.
Fitness Expert Kathy Smith - I used to watch her 25+ years ago when she did a cable show with Regis Philbin.
Valerie Bertinelli - Spokeswoman for Jenny Craig. She just completed her first half-marathon.
Bob Harper - The coach for the Blue team on the show The Biggest Loser (I am addicted to watching these people transform)
Bill Phillips, Author of Body for Life - It's been about 10 years but I still remember the huge line a the book signing in Mesquite Texas. That poor store was totally not prepared for the HUGE crowd.. The picture above is at a formal dinner hosted by Bill that was celebrating the Make a Wish Foundation of Colorado.
These people are my Rock stars! The people that help you believe it can be done!!! Funny how this little fat girl had the seed of the dream for so long and now she is working to make it come true! Now I am the personal trainer helping others.
The other rock stars are the people in the trenches daily taking care of their health each and every day to become their best and personally transform their health and well-being!

Everything depends on you, on how you react to circumstances and to life in
general. It may have started out as a dark feeling but has progressed to
an illness that affects every aspect of the person's life. Usually, depression can be said as a mental state characterized by pessimistic sense of inadequacy and a despondent lack of activity.
