One other post for today and then I'm done... I swear. Really.
Okay, so I've been doing PE for a little while... but I haven't measured myself for years. I just never had a need to.
I've been reading about everyones growth on here, so I stopped to buy a ruler today... and got incredibly depressed. I alway thought I was just at 7.25 inches. When I picked up the ruler at the store I thought to myself... MY GOD, 7.25" IS LONGER THAN I THOUGHT. THERE IS NO WAY I'M THIS BIG. So, I bought it and went home depressed. A little while later I build up the nerve to actually measure myself and now (after starting PE) I'm just OVER 7.25.
My point is this... We never look at ourselves with an unbiased eye. Maybe it's how we feel about ourselves, or maybe it's just the angle we're looking from...but looks can be deceiving.
I weight lift and keep very accurate records everyday so I can chart growth, weight, and make sure I'm not missing anything. PE is no different. If you're not already doing this...MEASURE and MEASURE OFTEN! You might not be happy with where you are right now (which I'm thinking is why some people don't measure), but dealing with it now will make it much easier for you to get to where you are happy with yourself.
My 2 cents.
Thanks,
