Have you ever been significantly more or less
physically fit than you are today? What
was different about that? What was
easier? Harder? Did others treat you any differently?
In my early thirties, I was in the best shape of
my life. I was running a lot. I even competed in a couple of biathlons. I wanted to continue, but I would have had to
take a lot of time that I spent with my boys and train instead. I wasn’t willing to sacrifice my kids for the
sport, especially since I wasn’t very good at the running.
Being physically active was easer then it had
been in the past because I was given three hours a week to work out during my
work day. This was awesome. Also I was younger. Now, I can’t run at all. My body is almost always in pain at the moment
because of the rheumatoid arthritis. I
have plenty of time to workout, but it just hurts like hell.
As for being treated any differently? Well, sure. Guys treated me differently because I looked
great. Human nature right there. But they just treated the outside differently,
I am still treated the same by my friends and family no matter what shape I am
in.
