A New Start

Thin is so superficial. Being this, tiny girl with size zero waist. A tiny heap of skin and bones.
Why not love yourself for you?
This, FitFat challenge is not for anyone. Its not for you, its not for my parents, its not for my boyfriend. Everything We do here, is for us.
Its to feel better about ourselves, to push the boundaries, to become fit enough for us. To look in the mirror and enjoy what we see.
This is going to be an emotional journey to reach goals, feel better and start living more, becoming closer as friends.
If you follow us, we'll update photos of our accomplishments, personal diaries of our frustrations and accomplisments, tips we've used and anything we feel like sharing. Your support will help us reach them.
Its not about being thin. It's about being happy with yourself and loving who you are.

The beginning

It takes alot of courage, to put yourself out here like Megan and I are doing. Alot of things take courage, and sometimes the best place to reinforce your courage is in a community of people with similair ideas, goals and views.

We are FitFat, a term Megan invented to describe a fit person that is still fat. Oddly enough, it suits us rather perfectly.

We are both bigger girls, but we can hold our own. Megan played rugby before a bad shoulder injury, and I play soccer twice a week at a competitive level.

Blame it on genetics, or bad habits, whatever the deal may be but we are at a place where we are not happy with ourselves. A place where we are tired of the way we look and feel, tired of not feeling capable.

We want to climb mountains and run miles! ( Something I have never ever ever been able to do, as I'm not a natural runner), but thats the point. To push the boundaries,  find the inner strength -the will inside of us- to become our fittest.
