15kg Difference In Body And Mind 🔥💪🏻🧠
If I had told myself years ago that I could live a life loving my body AND training only a little, eating delicious food without restriction, AND achieve a lean, strong and toned body – I wouldn’t have believed it.
Would you love living a life like that too? Can you believe it’s possible?
For most of my life I focused on being thinner, skinner, smaller, lighter. I thought I’d be happy and love myself when I hit 60kg and got into a size 8. People would like me more, I would like me more, I’d be more attractive, I’d fit in.
I did hours of cardio, and gym classes, I limited how much I ate, what I ate, I lived a life of restrictive and disordered eating for years.
Chasing the goal to be skinnier, to get to the number on the scale, the size number on the clothes label … it made me unhappy and obsessed with my body, and created an unhealthy relationship with food and exercise.
I had no idea that I could love my body living a different way – eating and training for enjoyment.
It was exhausting trying to fit in the hours of exercise and constantly obsessing over how to eat less. There had to be more to life! And there had to be more enjoyment in my life. SURELY.
So I made some changes:
⭐️ I started to look at food for nourishment, energy, and strength to support it to live its best life
⭐️ I started eating foods that I used to avoid in fear of weight gain
⭐️ I began eating regular complete meals every day including carbs/fat/protein/fibre
⭐️ I began to exercise with the focus on getting stronger rather than to become skinnier or burn more calories.
⭐️ I gave my body rest days and deload periods between resistance programs.
⭐️ I wrote a vision letter to myself of the person I wanted to become in the future and I turned up as her every single day.
I went from living a life with tunnel vision consumed with my body being skinner, lighter, thinner; to one now that is lean and toned because I focus on eating to support my body to be strong, energetic, and having fun.
Are you willing to believe…to become?
