Better late than never.. MCM!! Women need iron. Not the vitamin. The barbell.

We are trained by the world around us to have fucked up ideas about our bodies; iron unfucks them.

We are supposed to be as thin as possible, as small as possible, perhaps until we disappear; iron teaches us to take up space.

We are taught that the only good direction for the scale to go is down, and to agonize ritualistically when it goes up. Iron teaches us the power of gaining weight for strength and gives us another weight to care about – the weight we are lifting.

We are taught to eat small amounts daintily and treat food as sin and pleasure. Iron teaches us to eat heartily, to see food as fuel for life, and to seek out nutritious food rather than avoiding sinful food.

We are taught to think of our bodies as decorative, an object to be looked at; iron teaches us to think of our bodies as functional, our own active selves, not passive objects for another’s regard.

Whole industries exist to profit by removing from us our confidence and selling it back as external objects. Iron gives us confidence from within through progressive training and measurable achievements.

We are taught to be gentle and hide our strength or even to cultivate charming physical weakness until we start to believe our bodies are weak.
Iron teaches us how strong we can be.” (via sophrosyneandlift.tumblr)

I was going through my things two days ago and came across some old memory cards and thought I would share this with the people who keep asking about about "When exactly was I fat or big".. Yes I don't have much memories from my weight problems days because I went through three laptops, for phones, and six flash drives in the last six years so I lost most of my things. Anyways, the first picture is from 2009 and I was 150 pounds, the middle picture from 2010 or 2011 and I was between 185-195 pounds, the last picture is from this morning March 25, 2014 and I am 158 pounds. Yes I came a long way, no I will not apologize for that, yes I will continue this journey of mine until the death of me. Yes I did this all on my own, no personal trainer, no dietitian, no pills, no magic, just pure dedication, a positive mindset and the Most High. No I'm not a personal trainer but I know my way around the kitchen and the gym so no I'm not pretending to be a personal trainer for those idiots that had the nerves to call me about that bullshit. You don't have to go to some expensive school or have a personal trainer certificate to produce the work of a personal trainer.
