Sorry if this post is something sad but I need to share this with you mis amigos.My weight problems began turning my 20's, I 've been a big eater since my teen years but exercise always kept me fit. I was finishing college and my eforts were towards graduation and slowly started skip classes till I quit TKD, those days were of parties,sex and mmmm some alcohol too. Then in 1994 I got married and since I've been gaining weight, in 16 years of marriage I got 50+ pounds.
Since I returned TKD 3 years back my loss weight is minimal, I hate the word diet and the times I've been on diet I have lost 10-15 punds and no more and then the rebound.
Today, surfing in the internet I saw the pic of a 3rd degree black belt guy about my age performing a nice side kick and then I feel the pain, oh my lord!!! I tought, if I only could do a nice kick like that!!
My over weight took me to the problem of my feet and the hurting condiction of every step I do, this also keep me away from training and then I can not drop some bacon.
Somehow that pic stung me in the pride and I know what I have to do in order to improve my kicks, it's going to be dificult very dificult, something almost impossible but I need to do something I love TKD and need to improve myself.
