****LET’S TALK****
By Beth Piraino |
I've
been married for 18 years; had two boys and 80
pounds of extra weight. |
|
It
was February 2006 my eldest son and I attended the
Mother/son dance at his High School. When I seen
photos from the event I was so embarrassed at the
way I looked. I could not believe it; I was so
large my face was distorted
(I looked like a
squirrel storing winter nuts). This was a major
turning point in my life. I knew I had to do
something; I was killing myself with my food
addiction. Saying I need to do something and
actually doing it are two different things as we all
know.

I am not claiming to be an expert just because I have found success. If
you really think about it we all have excuses and
each excuse has a counter point. I don’t have time;
you are only at curves approximately 30 minutes.
They are open early before work and are still open
after work. I do not like to diet; don’t have to
just eat healthier. I have never exercised before;
does not matter it is never too late. The list can
do on and on; but you get the point.

The biggest excuse of all is hands down motivation, a gentle push
from friends or family can sometimes help. This
leads to how I started at Bridgeport Curves. In
early 2006 it was my birthday. My husband said I
need to talk to you about your birthday present. In
my head I am saying oh no what is this all about.
He had the curves website on my computer. What do
you think about joining? My first reaction was I
don’t have time for this. He said don’t get mad I
just want you to read what it is all about. I read
the information on the website. He said if you
would like I want to pay for a membership for you. I thought about it for a few minutes and I was not
the least bit offended, because deep down I knew I
needed to do this, so I said yes. It was the little
push I needed. The very next morning I walked over
to the Bridgeport Curves near my house and signed
up.

I have been going a minimum of 4 times a week ever
since. I was sore the first few days nothing major.
The second week the soreness was gone and I started
feeling great about going. My energy level increased
greatly. My appetite level decreased greatly!! I
work at night so my days and nights were reversed. I
had no energy to do everyday housework during the
day. I would have to save it up and do it all on my
day off. Now because I have so much more energy, I
come home from a morning work out take a shower and
still have the ambition to do some cleaning.
This brings us to the present day I have lost
39.30
inches, 53.40 pounds of weight, and 45.15 pounds of
body fat and I have never felt better in my life. This
experience has changed a lot of things in my life. I
feel better about myself. I can take better care of
my family. I am at high risk for health related
issues associated with being overweight; losing
weight can only help with that. It feels
really great when someone you have not seen in a
long time says to you WOW you have lost a lot of
weight you look great!!
People ask me questions like don’t you get
tired of eating the same things all the time; my
answer is no. I take my vitamins, drink my
milk, eat a healthy diet and exercise. Eating a
healthy diet is one of the key ingredients in making
this work, so I don’t mind when my family is eating
fries as a side item and I have fruit.
At Bridgeport
Curves everyone is treated the same whether they are
there to lose 25 pounds, 225 pounds. The staff is
very helpful and friendly and always willing to help
with any issue that may arise. The work out is not
hard anyone can do it. You just have to want to do
it. We need to feel good about ourselves; and that
starts with a healthier lifestyle.

I would like to say a very special THANK YOU
to Char and all the staff at Bridgeport Curves. I could not
have done it without you!!! |
