## Caption

I posted this on my story just a few days ago and I must have read over 60+ messages all starting with “I thought you were just one of those people who was given  solid genetics and forever an athlete” …. 

Whilst I truly do understand the image I now portray is that of a disciplined, focused and relentless athlete I can show you better than I can explain to you that that’s really not always been the case and I too have been and still would consider myself a work in progress.

I have been considerably overweight (Pic 1 Left)

I have been considerably underweight (Pic 2 Left) 

I have been very unwell with both extremes … 

And now I can say I am Healthy, athletic, strong and able to share these experiences for the benefit of others. (Pic 1 + 2 Right)

So next time you see a person in thier fitness era and before we formulate a preconceived mind des of thier genetics or lack of effort - first allow them a little nod of respect because they may have just worked thier absolute heart out for that fitness , that mindset and that body , like I did 😊🤝 

Picture 3 , Because happiness > bodyweight
