Caitlin’s WHY

I’ve never had a good relationship with my body. Ever. When I was in the fourth grade I would do my mom’s “Walk Away the Pounds” workouts, hoping that I would “get skinny” so people would like me. When I was in high school, I thought my weight was the reason why boys didn’t like me. I blame my depression on the negative relationship I have with my body, because every negative thought I have about myself is linked to the way that I look. When I chose to pursue a healthy lifestyle, it wasn’t to get skinny. It wasn’t to get a boyfriend. It wasn’t to be popular or “pretty.” I needed to be healthy, I needed to workout, because I wanted to be proud of my body. When I started working out and getting healthy, I was so amazed at what my body was capable of. And even more so, I was amazed at how good I looked in a tight black dress (I mean, we all want that…right?). I was getting stronger, happier, and more confident. And people noticed! Now I have an amazing support group. Super You, and specifically, Gillian have inspired me to be the best “me” that I can be. After a summer of Instagram stalking…yes stalking…Gillian, I decided to reach out to her for fitness advice and I’ve never looked back. She’s motivating, exciting, practices what she preaches, and most importantly, she’s REAL. She doesn’t tell you that eating a piece of chocolate will ruin your entire diet. “It happens. You’re human.” And she’s so right. The accountability that Gillian gives you makes you feel like you can do anything. Because that’s the bottom line. You can do ANYTHING you set your mind to, and Super You will help you get there.
