2004-2009，我曾有過5年的重訓經驗，但因為一句「gan 話」我放棄了！ 在那個女性重訓不時興的時代，我卻對重訓上癮到一日不練就感到不開心！ 某日在一場朋友的聚會裡，一位男友人當著所有人的面對我說：你看不出天天在運動的樣子！怎麼這麼壯！ 我永遠忘不了當時的我感到的羞愧，因為我不是一般社會眼光下，運動=纖細！ 年輕而太在意別人眼光的我，一氣之下放棄了重訓，十幾年來只做有氧！瘦是瘦了，但身材沒有曲線，而且只要多吃就會胖！ 2019年突然其來的一場大病，讓我重新審視自己的健康！ 為了讓自己可以更舒適地迎接，即將到來的更年期，並達到防止骨質疏鬆，老了不用被推出去曬太陽的夢想，我，回歸了重訓的懷抱。 10個月以來，看著自己從難以承受五公斤的臀推，到現在80公斤沒問題。 從害怕空槓的臥推，到現在可以推到40公斤。槓鈴深蹲60、相撲硬舉80⋯⋯。 我在一次又一次的痛苦的訓練中，重新回到我熱愛的重訓懷抱，啊～ 沒錯，這是我曾經深愛過的感覺！ 但更讓我迷戀不已的是，在克服一次次難以承受的重量裡，慢慢地找回我對自己人生的掌控權、以及內心深處不可思議的平靜感！ 現在的我，快45歲了，沒有什麼遠大的身體目標，只想靠自己努力，安然地迎接更年期，最最最希望的是，老了也不用被推出去曬太陽，或輪椅被停在娃娃機前面七小時！（最近可怕的老人看護新聞）！ 然後最令我感到驕傲的，不是我重訓的成績進步了多少，而是，我現在已有勇氣，去擁抱並接納我創造出來的樣子。 我是Vita， 我選擇我要的樣子，不是老公、父母、親人、朋友、同事或是這個社會！ 而是我自己！ 當你勇敢做自己 愛將開始伴隨你💙 Back in 2004˜2009, I used to love weights training so much that I just had to workout everyday, otherwise, I would feel extremely uncomfortable! Well, you can call me “gym junky”! But I had given that all up due to one comment from a male friend. He said “YOU DON’T LOOK LIKE YOU WORKOUT EVERYDAY”! And he said in front of lots of people. I was so embarrassed and felt absolutely humiliated. I was so stupid to let his comments effect me, therefore, I GAVE UP strength training! Because I was getting so huge that I DID NOT fit in to the society’s eyes, thin is prettier! “FXXK that” it’s what I would say tnow! But back then, I was too young to realise that no body can decide what I should look like or feel! ABSOLUTELY NO BODY! 11 years has passed, a recovery from my sudden illness a year ago had helped me to realise, my healthy comes first and by health, I meant both body and mind. So, I have returned to my love~ Weights training! And I have to say, even I had abandoned it for 11 years, it still embraces me as it knows how much I love this sport! No body has any rights to judge what other people’s body image should be like, absolutely NOT. But more importantly, you should always stand strong to fight & protect for your own happiness instead of let anyone else decide for you! Be brave, be yourself, love will follow.
