"The idea that a “wish chip”, a perfectly folded symmetrical greasy fried potato chip, could invoke such excitement is retrospectively absurd. However, I remember a time when I associated the novelty of an improperly fried slice of perfection with the same supernatural potential as a wishbone or a set of candles on a birthday cake. Perhaps it was delusions such as this that led me to eight years of severe childhood obesity. Weighing in at a whopping 175 pounds with a small stature of 4’5”, I was classified as morbidly obese. Now realizing the magnitude of my previous pudgy problem, I have become aware that my past is unacceptably typical of our nation. Although not all Americans are walking around placing their hopes and dreams on wish chips, many perceptions held towards the importance of a healthy lifestyle are just as delusional. We are continuously depreciating the worth of taking an active role to create the health we hope to possess. Widespread obesity is increasing through the cyclical passing of these illusions from one generation to the next, and if it persists, many statistical studies state that half of our country will be obese within twenty years. That is, unless we find a way to break the cycle through the promise and passion of physicians like the one I aspire to become. " This is the beginning of my personal statement which helped propel me into my current position as a soon to be, sleep-deprived, time stretched, stressed out medical student. Come Aug 2012, the books will be in my nose and the clock will seem like an evil dictator of how much I can devote to me. I have seven months to get into the best shape of my life and create habits that will make remaining healthy a status quo. As my story says, I was an obese for the first thirteen years of my life (minus infancy of course). As the pudgy one, I never liked sports or rather anything that involved running. I saw it as just a mean to my humiliation and loss of self-worth. In high school, I discovered the sport of rowing. (little running required) I got hooked and spent the next six years recreating my body and mind into that of an athlete. Along with the encouragement and motivation from my amazing boyfriend, I ditched the fat girl suit and mentality and started taking care of myself. After rowing came running and after running came insanity.turbofire. For the next seven months I want to turn myself into a lean mean fitness machine, This would include achieving these goals and turning them into habits and the me I want to be.
