This is me. Well, it’s not. It’s the dog. Our lovely Bramble. She’s asleep with her paws around her head. And for me, she perfectly represents where I’m at with exercise at the moment. I now know why people exercise – it unleashes endorphins and makes them feel good, so they do more of it. The challenge for me though, is that I’m at a weight where things [[ I’ll leave it to you to visualise ]] wibble, jiggle, rub and get sore when I do exercise. So it’s not something where I at the moment, get endorphins a flowin’ !!! And therefore it’s really not something I’m inclined to do. Even swimming is embarassing. My lungs are shot from the pneumonia last year and I sweat like there’s no tomorrow even walking the dog. I’m not saying I’m going to give up. I’m just putting it out there that if you think that fat people don’t want to exercise, you could be wrong. Some of us could be really up for those endorphins and are just working on getting to a point where they kick in, in enough of a volume and/or intensity to make a positive dent in the other outcomes that come from it!!!!
