Following a trend

So, I don't know about you, but as someone who is really getting into the Physical Fitness world, people don't always look good at me for doing it. Sometimes, they seem really tired if hearing people talking about fitness and all that stuff. Well, it's okay for them, we would be tired with any kind of subject if it would be overtalked around us too. But there's a difference between being bored with a subject and being mad at people for doing what they love.

Let me explain... I was at work the other day and a girl saw me eating tuna and veggies. An other girl asked me why I often ate this meal. I told her that I was training basically 6 days a week and that I cared about having a good diet to go with it. Then, the first girl that I talked about became really upset against me telling me that she was so tired of the '' being fit trend '' that everyone was trying to achieve, that it became impossible to only wanna be slim and it went on and on. I was a little disappointed and mostly shocked. I didn't know that physical fitness was becoming a trend. And well as someone who never followed trends, it was even more surprising.

Let's see, you certainly don't need to be fit if you don't want to, and you don't have to keep yourself from getting fit if you want to. You certainly heard all the quotes like the one in the picture above, saying that fit is the new sexy and etc. The most important part is that you feel confident in your body and that you're healthy. For my part, I didn't only want to become fit to have the nicest body on the beach, I wanted to become more healthy because yep I was eating like crap. Yes, I was slim, but I couldn't even take the stairs without being out of breath. That's mostly why I restarted training like a beast. ( I'll talk about why I stopped in an other post :) )

All that is left to say about that is really cliché but you know, sometimes clichés are real. Do what makes you feel good. Do what makes you happy. Don't feel any kind of pressure from the fitness community whether you're in it or not. If we do it, it's for ourselves first. Just keep that in mind!

Let me know in the comments if you experienced something similar !
