Watch
Me Transform With The Magics Of Badminton!!!
As
the nature of human beings we are always complaining about how much things we
have to do every single day. Being a full time university student myself, I
understand how hard it is to squeeze out that five to ten hours a week committing
to the sport that we love. But at the same time, I wish everyone would realize
how much a sport can improve your quality of life and you as a person in
general.
I
grew up with my grandma in China as both of my parents were working full time. All
I remember is that my grandma made the most delicious food in the entire world
so I was eating at least 5 meals a day. So at the age of 7, I was already
considered to be overweight. And of course, at the time I didn’t realize the
consequences of being fat =[
This
did not change until I was in high school (I think around year 10), I was 165cm
and 76kg at the time. Soon I started to realize that all my friends were beginning
to have relationship except for me, my mum had always taught me that inside is
what really matters. But I hate to admit, no guy is going to care about your
personality the first time they meet you!
I
liked a boy continuously for four years since year 7, but he never wanted to be
anything more than friends. Because I grew up in China and only came to
Australia for high school, I was already very quiet at school because
I was scared people would laugh at my bad English.
This
only got worse as days passed by, I would hear people talk about me but I was
unable to understand what they were saying completely, and as soon as I walk
pass they would stop. But I knew it was something bad. All of this added
together made me hate going to school every day.
So
I realized that if I want things to change then I have to change first!
The
reason why I chose badminton was because my mum was also playing on a weekly
base, so it was the most convenient sport to begin with. I started off with not
knowing how to hold the racket properly to playing tournaments for my club.
I
lost over 15kg since when I first started, not only it transformed my body
shape completely; I’ve made so many new friends through this sport. I never
felt like I was just doing it to loose weight, instead I loved everything about
this sport.
Well,
a picture is worth a thousand words…
I
can’t say enough good things about this sport. I really hope my experience has
encouraged you to at least give this sport a try!
