'I went from walking an 18-minute mile to running an 8-minute mile.'
I’ve had an unhealthy relationship with food most of my life. I grew up in a large family that struggled to afford the basic necessities, and we didn’t always know where our next meal was coming from. So at a young age, I started binging whenever I was around food. By the time was in third grade, I was getting bullied about my weight. Food became a security blanket for me.
I was either studying or in a clinical rotation before the sun came up and after the sun set, so I would opt for Chinese takeout because it was filling and always meant I had leftovers to munch on during breaks in my tricky schedule. Fitness didn't exist in this period of my life. My cough became so bad that my patients would ask me if I smoked. I didn’t! I couldn’t help but think that maybe my lungs and respiratory were just out of shape, so to speak.
When I started attending the classes, I had to modify all of the workouts. I couldn’t keep up with everyone around me, but it didn’t matter and I was never judged. And in the first six weeks, I watched my body transform. Seeing my progress was so motivating that it got me excited to work on other healthy habits.
