I don’t care about the number on the scale, or the inches of my waist, hips and thighs. I don’t care about what shallow small minded people might say about my body. I don’t care that I will never fit into a size 00 or 0 jeans. I have no interest in being the skinniest girl in the room or about how many calories I’m consuming everyday. What I DO care about is how much more I can bench press next week, or how much longer I can last on the bike, or on the running trail. I care about how much faster I’m running and how much harder I’m pushing. About the more reps and sets I can do because of how much stronger I’m getting. I care about filling my body with the most nutritious and delicious food that I know will help me perform at my maximum the next day. I care that after every single workout I have given my 110% to achieve what I want; and that is to be the healthiest girl in the room, with the greatest self esteem and confidence that gets attention instead of how skinny I look in a bikini.
I am making the pledge to be STRONG vs. skinny.
