Who's it for? (Origin Story)

How did it start?
 Talk to any bodybuilder, any gym rat, or fitness fiend why they decided to change their lives and chase the gainz. The response received should sound something like "I was unhappy with the way I was". For most people it stems from a lack of joy in their lives or possibly a tragic incident that ignites a want for change.  Since I've started my pursuit for fitness over a year ago I have met many fellow gain chasers and heard their origin stories. A few stories involved a partner's infidelity, others a non mutual break up, and for some the feeling of physical weakness is enough to push for a change.
Why am I doing this?
I started because I was unhappy with how I looked. My self esteem was low, so low I couldn't land the confidence to ask out, who at the time I thought was, "The girl of my dreams". I felt physically/ mentally weak, I was tired of taking people's shit. At 5'10", weighing 130 pounds, and slouching constantly, I could do very little to assert myself. I had to change, I couldn't keep living in weakness. Above all other reasons, I was tired of being average. Surrounding myself with failure, I felt as if the person I was on the outside did not match the person on the inside, or at least not the person I wanted to be.
Why I keep doing this?
 I could tell you it's because I don't slouch anymore. I could tell you it's because I feel myself becoming stronger, both physically and mentally. Or maybe because I feel more confident than I have ever been. Maybe it's an accumulation of all those things. But individual reasons aside, I was happier in the last 12months than I was the 4years before I decided to start a fitness lifestyle.
Why are you doing this?
You can have a thousand reasons, but as long as your doing it for yourself the reasons don't matter. People will hate you for it, they'll make fun of you. Sometimes the worst comments will come from your closest friends. But don't ever listen to them, because you and you alone know why you have chosen to chase the gainz. You and you alone are putting in the hard work to achieve your goal. It doesn't affect them one bit, so their comments don't mean a damn thing.
So keep your head up, back straight, legs shoulder length apart and
...Just keep chasing the Gainz
