I never thought of myself as "fat", but I always admired those women with "great" bodies. through highschool and into my twenties, I was average. I played sports in highschool and always exercised. It seemed like I could eat whatever and still maintain an average weight. Then when I was 27, I developed a cyst on my spine. While the surgery wasn't bad, the aftermath was. The incision would not heal. In fact, it kept getting infected for a year. Not only was I completely depressed, I could not exercise. I spent a lot of time lying on the couch in pain. I went from an average 135 to an overweight 180. I couldn't stand to look at myself in the mirror and I definately did not want people taking pictures of me. I started various diets, but could still not work out because of the tissue damage. On top of that I was finishing my teaching degree and working two jobs so I had very little time for myself. Even worse was the fact that one of my jobs was managing a bakery - you can imagine the temptations! Two years ago, my youngest sister got married. Not only was I the fattest sister, I was also the single one. Something had to be done. My brother, his girlfriend and I made a pact to lose weight and get in shape. We went to the gym consistently and after a year and a half I'd lost about 20 pounds, but felt like it was taking forever and for all the time I spent at the gym - it didn't look like it. I needed something different. One night, I left the TV on and fell asleep. At 3 a.m., I woke to a P90X commercial. It was a sign. I showed my brother and his girlfriend and after some research, we decided to go for it. We made more progress in 90 days than in a year and a half at the gym. I've now gone through two rounds of P90X and I look like a totally different person. None of my clothes fit - they are all too big!!! Not only that, I fell better and stronger. P90X has made me feel as if I can do anything.
