My unconventional size

by Q
Hooray for unconventional! Represent a new paradigm of athleticism. Can I get an amen?

Whatever your size or weight might be, don’t let that sabotage your goals and dreams. If I quit every time I realized that my body seemed unconventional to what I wanted to achieve, I wouldn’t be where I am. Don’t think it doesn’t cross my mind...but I remember what is conventional and what isn’t is made up by the messages around us. If I allow those messages to end my aspirations then I’ve given up my power, bought in and become a participant in the machine that kills many dreams. We must go against the grain, set new precedence and tell a new story. My size won’t be my demise and stringent ideals won’t stop me from representing a new paradigm of athleticism. I hope you will join me in this movement. Tag your sweaty, “unconventional” kick ass images with #bigfitgirlmovement —we are in charge of our lives, no one else. .
