The Six-K Club

Afrah AbdulRaheem

19 years old

First joined Six-K Club Saturday April 7th 2007

n the early ages of my life I was never happy with whom I am. I have always been overweight. I never saw myself thin or beautiful.

In school I was always called fat and this made life hard for me as a child. I was bullied because of my weight and children would always laugh at me. Furthermore in sports classes I was different than the other kids, I couldn’t jump, run, or even enjoy sports games because they were simply hard to do for a person my size.

When the weekend comes I would go out and enjoy myself with my friends for a good dinner but this makes it hard for me because passing by the tables to reach our table is annoying, yet in the cinema I would avoid sitting in the middle because I would get embarrassed by passing on the people and squashing their feet. I would rather stay at home.

I have always hated shopping because I couldn’t find anything looking good on me or anything that fits me. I also hated family gatherings because in our tradition we would sit and eat on the floor, however I would sit and think to myself “how would I get up again” I found it hard for me.

As an overweight child who grew up fat, I have always struggled with my weight and tried too many diets to lose weight and at once it seemed to me that nothing will work, until I have joined the Six-K Club. All the things that I hated have changed by my perception. The Six-K Club has changed my life I felt more comfortable with whom I am and had more confidence with what people thought of me. In the Six-K club I found motivation, inspiration and a goal for living a happy life as well as meeting new friends.

Since I first joined the Six-K Club a lot of things have changed. I have lost more than 20 kilos in that I have never lost before from my experience in diets. 

Six-K was not only a place to achieve my goal it was a place that was different to me, the wonderful people I meet, the respect I found and the care I got.

After everything else I would like to thank Jasem Al Zeraei for his success in building the Six-K Club and his support.

Come on people come and enjoy, get inspired, have fun and live a happy life with the www.Six-k.com and you will have the opportunity to listen to the real story live from Jasem Al Zeraei.

As you might have noticed there has been a lack of myself and the group to go ahead and organize a walk or event or any activity. I have always concealed this lack of effort to work commitments or life’s errands, but the truth is that I have been shy to appear again in front of my audience.

I have gained weight, around 10 to 15 kilos, not sure to be exact because I refuse to weigh myself.

The reason for the weight gain can stem from my U.S. trip to a shoulder injury to plain ignorance and that thought when you’ve lost weight, “I’ve done it before I can do it again” mentality which really sneaks up on you.

Yesterday a club member gave me words of courage and might that I have never heard before, he repeated the same words that I uttered to him when he first showed up to walk with us and now he’s 10 kilo’s lighter. He made me so upset that I have started to eat super healthy and started to seriously get real. I have since worked out and I can tell you that I feel like its 2001 and I’m in my apartment in Arizona determined as ever to do something about it. I have told many people who I keep close to my heart and who I love openly that I’m doing something about and I have not really, but this time It’s personal, it’s my word against me and it’s my word to essentially, the whole world.

Two minutes ago, Afrah informed me something beautiful. The shy girl with a heart of gold started her journey with 131 kilos, now she’s a slimmed down 98 and on her way to her goal of 68.  I am proud more than ever, I am ecstatic more than ever, I am psyched more than ever; I am humbled more than ever, I am a happy man more than ever, I am hopeful more than ever; I am The Six-K Club more than ever before.

Join me this summer in my and our and the whole worlds quest to spread the good words of health, happiness and life fatless. With you I have shared my most personal experiences and with you all …

I will share my new weight loss story.
