A massive thank you to for honouring me with the award of "Most Inspirational Athlete 2024" ๐โจ
And for an awesome night at The End Of Year Ball ๐๐....
Most of you know the last couple months have been HARD AS F*** ๐ช๐ค
So to know that my fight every day to never give up ๐ฅ๐ฅ
To be the best version I can, regardless of circumstance ๐๐ฏ
Has inspired even 1 person, is the biggest compliment I could ever get โค๏ธ๐
For the first time in YEARS I experienced that awful moment of thinking....
"I HAVE NOTHING TO WEAR" ๐ฌ๐
Nothing will fit over my bandages ๐ฉน
None of my shoes will fit over my splints ๐๐
I actually looked at myself in the mirror and thought:
"I'm about to go to a Ball full of amazing, fit athletes, and I look like a frumpy mum" ๐ฅบ๐ช
This was NOT a reflection of what anyone else thought of me, but a reflection of my own insecurities re-emerging from the depths that they have lingered in for years ๐๐ญ
Of course, everyone complimented my outfit and told me they were inspired by the fact that I went.....that I get up every day and keep bloody well going โค๏ธโ๐ฅ๐ฅ
But I critiqued myself in the same way I used to when I was 70lbs overweight and hated the way my body looked ๐ฅฒโ๏ธ
And I share this just to remind you that YOU ARE NOT ALONE ๐ค๐
Even as a Pro Athlete, I still got these thoughts.
But it isn't the thought that defines you....
It is what you choose to DO about it. ๐๏ธโโ๏ธโจ
So I choose to show up every day to get back on that stage and be proud.
Eating on plan ๐ฝ๏ธโ
Training on plan ๐๏ธโโ๏ธโ
Sleeping on plan ๐โ
Water on plan ๐งโ
November 2025.....not only will I be at the Ball, but I'll be on stage the day before with my bedazzled foot splints ๐๐ ๐
Thank you .sue.pro and for inspiring me BACK to choose to take the best next step ๐โจ
