I only exercise because I want to be skinny... WRONG! Granted there may be some people out there that say they despise working out and only do it because they need to drop a few pounds but that's their goal and not mine. Believe it or not I LOVE TO WORKOUT. There might be some mornings I don't feel like doing it but I never regret it once it's done. It gives me such a high and raises my endorphins so much that I always end up in a better mood once I finish it. Yes I do want to drop a few pounds but exercise is much more than a physical change, it's a mental change too! Not many people know this but I've struggled with depression since my freshman year of college and I've always had low self esteem and a lack of self confidence. Exercise helps me through all of that without relying on drugs or medication. My self esteem and self confidence has gone up because I know that things can get better because I see how much I improve in my workouts and I apply that to my life. Life is a struggle but one thing I've learned from my workouts is that there's no easy way, no quick fix, there will be struggle and you have to be dedicated to push through everyday. So no, my exercises are not till I reach my goal weight. My exercises are apart of my lifestyle.
