How Do You Feel About Being Overweight?
As I've mentioned in a number of threads I have a series of lectures to perform to trainers and Fitness Centre owners. I really want to get across to them what it feels like to be overweight (as most have never been). I want it to be from the heart. I want them to really feel your emotions.
So what is it doing in the Competition section?
Well, I'd like to hear from you all on your experiences. Because I want it to be a very personal account of your feelings I'd like it PM'd or emailed to me.
We will choose 5 winners, who will each get a phone call from Adro!
If you enter, I will be using your story (with name ommitted of course) to educate these trainers.
So what should you write about?
1. How did you come to be overweight? Was it an emotional, a lack of activity, a love of food, a lack of education, or all of the above?
2. What finally made you seek help? Usually people think about it for a while but often there is one event that causes an action to search on the internet, go for a walk, join a gym, etc.
3. How do you feel about yourself? Please be very honest.
4. How do you think others percieve you? Once again be very honest. (remember, no names are used!)
5. What's it like for you to go shopping for clothes?
6. How would/did you feel walking into the gym for the first time?
7. How would/did you feel exercising in front of people?
8. What have you tried, to lose weight?
And a couple of others at the end:
9. What type of people do you think use fitness centres?
10. What do you think a Personal Trainer would think when they look at you? (This is important because most trainers talk without considering this)
11. Have you had any bad experiences in fitness centres?
Provide a smuch detail as possible. Please don't write them as question and answer. I'd like to have it as your story!
Thanks heaps!
