For context, I have never been an athletic person. I didn't play sports growing up, I hated working out, and even have a running gag with my that I don't go outside.
For the past two months or so, my trainer has been teaching me hang power cleans. I've slowly been getting better at them and today I lifted my heaviest weight of 65lbs. There was a new lady in the gym today who was doing sit-ups on a bench nearby. I didn't quite hear what she asked my trainer but I assume it was along the lines of, "Do I have to do that?" He responded saying "No, I teach that upon request." He started to tell her about how long I'd been working on my lifts and all that, then she turns to me and says "Wow, that's amazing, you look really cool doing it!"
Ladies and gentlemen I nearly cried right there. No one has ever commented on my physical ability in a positive way, aside from my trainer telling me my form is good. Hearing her say that has reinvigorated me in a way that I didn't expect it would. I want to keep lifting and getting stronger. I want to lose fat so you can see all of the hard work I've been putting in. I didn't think anyone could look at me and say I looked cool doing anything. So thank you new lady, best of luck to you on your journey, and thank you for making my day :)
