This time last year I was trapped in a 300+ pound prison of my own making. I was living the life I thought I deserved
I struggled with negative internal dialogue, low self-esteem and feelings of hopelessness
But then something magical happened…. I started believing in myself.
There was no ‘quick fix’ or ‘secret’
I decided I no longer wanted to exist in my life, I wanted to live my life to the fullest and become the best version of myself
I started making small changes to my nutrition and began moving more. Throughout the first few weeks/months, small changes turned into huge results.
I have changed the way I look at food. I don’t see food as either ‘good’ or ‘bad’ instead I understand that some foods are more nutritious than others
I like to follow 80-20 thinking when it comes to my food choices, 80% of the time I choose more nutritious foods and 20% of the time I choose less nutritious foods. This way I don’t feel deprived from the fun foods that I enjoy
When life happens, which it always does, and I have a little too many ‘fun foods’ I don’t waste time beating myself up about it, instead I always know I will be right back on track the next day
Was it easy? Of course not! But it was and still is 100% worth it!
I’m putting my story out there to show if you want change, anything is possible and you can accomplish whatever you set your mind to. But I had to choose it for myself, and in that moment I stopped existing and realized I deserved more!
Be inspired to love yourself, be inspired to believe in yourself, be inspired to live your life to the fullest and stop accepting less than you are worth!
