How many of you like cottage cheese? I do. I like it with fruit on top and Jimmy (my husband) likes it with green beans. Which is very strange to me but oh well. So, next question, how many of you like it on your body? Probably none. You have probably looked in the mirror ten million times and told yourself how disgusting it is. I am not going to lie, I used to do it to. I would twist and turn, squeeze and smooth. I bet some of you have even bought creams, had treatments etc. Well get ready to grab your spoons… How do you get rid of cellulite? You don’t. I can sit here and do a crap-load of research, try products, tell you it’s your diet, your training, to get a tan, or laser treatments. I could write a big fat long article to get you to buy a cellulite product or eat certain foods that “flush” your system. Or I could just tell you and SHOW you that I have it too. Yep, this is me.   I have cellulite in my legs. It’s not there all the time, mainly when I am in motion, but sometimes itpeaks through even when I am not. If I didn’t take care of my body I know it would be worse. How?  because of family history. Yes, part of this is a little bit genetic but, is this why I exercise? No way. I don’t’ do crazy exercises to get rid of cellulite, I don’t eat an all green bean diet because it flushes the system. I don’t CARE about my cellulite. I don’t feel bad for myself and sit at home and mope around, make excuses, say it’s never going to get better so why bother. If you want a life full of passion and purpose you have to create it. It doesn’t fall into your lap one day. You don’t wake up to some miraculous cream that takes away cellulite overnight. You do everything you love and you enjoy your life. You exercise because it’s awesome and gives you energy and keeps you healthy. Cellulite or not, who cares! Does your cellulite care? Does it haunt you and rule your life? Does it talk to you telling you there is no hope, I am here forever? If it does, then it’s time to stopwith vanity goals, and create exercise goals that improve your quality of life. Doing what you love and loving what you do because it makes you feel good, not because it claims it gets rid of cellulite. The best way to get rid of cellulite is to rid it from your mind. Who cares about cellulite! It sure the hell doesn’t care about you. And do you honestly notice other people’s cellulite? I mean yeah, you might see it at the local Walmart, but does it run your day? Do you constantly THINK about that person with it? Or do you notice it and MOVE ON. I am pretty sure that is what others do. We are our own worst critics. Life is not to be judged by physical appearances, but by our physical capabilities and how we impact the world by helping others. It’s what we DO not what we look like. And through what we DO creates confidence. No matter where you start in your journey, beginner to advanced just start. And from there, continue. Because we all know what happens when you create a goal basedon how your body looks, you end up reaching it and stopping. You don’t continue living the healthy lifestyle. (this is for some, not all I understand some people do end up living it) So here’s to all the people with cellulite, blast cellulite by letting go. Let go of it, stop giving it power. You are giving cellulite power by giving up hope; by thinking it will never go away so why bother. You are letting it rule your life, your training, your health and most importantly your vision of perfection. No one is perfect. But everyone has power and strength inside of them, and everyone can achieve something great. Stay focused on your goals, your running goals, your strength goals, flexibility goals, and your goals to make you FEEL better. Maybe sometimes your goal is to just make it to the gym.. on time.. with your headphones, or eat 1 serving of vegetables. I can’t guarantee cellulite will go away, but what I can guarantee is that you can become healthier mentally and physically. You canbe amazing.
