✨Let's be honest, our body is always changing, especially us women.
I feel like one day I was the size that was accepted by social media and then in the blink of an eye I gained 45lbs.
I literally remember looking in the mirror and thinking when the flip did this happen? How did this happen? With tears rolling down my face.
I honestly was CONSUMED with thoughts around my body image (still struggle with this and a lot of us do, and it's okay to talk about it). Everytime I ate I would think, is this good for me, will this make me gain weight, should I even eat this, maybe I can have some but I just wont eat later.
If anyone gave me a compliment I would (and still do sometimes) reply with something about my weight.
I was living a very unsustainable lifestyle when it came to my food choices.
Until one day I woke up and said enough is enough. If I'm not going to love myself for who I am, I won't have any room to accept love from anyone else.
I started to focus on what to add to my life, not what to avoid, and it has been a slow but positive process.
I find a lot of nutritionists are always helping others, putting their clients first and getting a high off of their success. We often put ourselves on the back burner. And sometimes we need a friendly reminder to put ourselves first.
So eat your damn breakfast, have a cupcake, don't do modifications on your starbucks order, post the photo even if you stared at your double chin and contemplated it 😝
🤍Find a happy and healthy balance.
