Growing up, people around you always make up some excuse to as to why they’re unhappy with their bodies to make themselves feel better. “Genetics” “I’ve hade 3 kids” “I have no time ever”.. But all of those excuses are just simply, well, excuses. I remember how miserable I use to be shopping for pants and shorts because majority of the time I felt super self-conscious about how my back side looked in a pair of jeans or that really cute pair of high-waisted shorts I wanted. So for the longest time I just told myself to face the truth that this is how shopping is always going to be and that I just wasn’t born with a blessed behind.

Purchasing Katy’s winter challenge really gave me a different outlook on fitness and how our bodies really can morph into something we never would have imagined. I no longer believe that “genetics” can stop you from creating yourself, from being happy with who you see in the mirror every day. I use to be TERRIFIED of putting on a pair of Nike Pro’s, and now that’s all I wear some weeks. I use to dread putting on a pair of blue jean shorts, now I can’t wait to go out in a pair on Saturday nights. Don’t let anyone ever tell you to get use to the body you have, or that your whole family has that physical flaw too and that it’ll never go away. Work hard, set goals. I promise you can achieve anything. Katy’s plan will kick your tail some days, but it is worth every ounce of sweat, every sore muscle, and every penny. Thank you, Katy for changing the outlook and lives of so many girls. We owe it all to you.
