#1 – Control the weight you’re lifting. Don’t let the weight control you. Don’t jerk, bounce, twist, gyrate, or swing wildly. Erratic lifting causes damage.

#2 – Control the weight on your plate. Don’t use your stomach for junk disposal.

#3 – Control your body weight. Don’t let your body weight control you.

I’ve spent a lifetime fighting fat, fighting not to return to my dysfunctional obese 12 yr old self. I lost control of my weight during 16 months of sedentariness recovering from a fractured leg and learning how to walk again.

I looked like hell, felt like hell. Fat grows out of control if you lose control. Being weak in mind, body, and soul was hell. The good news is that hell gives you perspective. You will fight like hell to never return to hell #muchlove #soulofalifter Blessings and all good things #peace
