The progress of the improved version of myself

Hi! My name is Sophie and I'm 22 years old. I've been struggling with my weight ever since I can remember. At this point of my life my goal is to be as healthy and fit as possible. And of course being happy in the process. :) Follow me on Instagram

And here I am again... Almost 4 years after my last post. 

Still struggling with my weight. 

In 2020, while in quarantine, I reached the highest weight in my whole life - 77kg. 

In the past few months I managed to lose 8 kg however and I’m happy about it. 

I will continue losing the weight and staying healthy. 

My goal is to go back to the place I was back in 2016 - the time when I was at my healthiest and happiest state. The time when I was strong, healthy and I was able to run marathons. 

I still do my best to keep moving, workout, but still I can’t reach the state of mind and attitude I used to have back then. 

I want to be again healthy, strong and active. 

And hopefully this blog will once again help me reach my goals. :)

Once again I am in a bad period of life. Depression and unhealthy habits came back for me and the result is some weight gain. I’m trying to stay positive though and coming here and rereading my old posts from my happiest times make me feel much better. It’s like I wrote to my future self and reading these posts is really helpful. 

To anyone struggling with depression: Keep fighting, you are not alone! :))

Girls, romanticize yourselves. You are a queen. You are a warrior. You are an enchantress. You are a mermaid. You are a goddess. You are all of these things and more, you are the stuff of fairytales.

You know who’s gonna give you everything? Yourself.

Just a normal day at work. :D When you're obsessed with fruit, your colleague knows about it and steals fruit for you from the restaurant. :D

6.08.2016 is a day to be remembered!

I ran my first 5km at an organized event. Actually for the first time ever I ran 5km! And the distance didn’t bother me at all. At the finish line I felt like I could run even more!

When I got to the signing up for the event I met my P.E. high school teacher. She was also about to take part in the Color Run. She was so happy and proud to see me there, having in mind the fact that in high school she tortured me so much to do exercises. Back then I hated all kind of exercise and movement at all. I hated P.E. classes. I hated my P.E. teacher. I hated how she made me do all those sit ups even though she saw me I couldn’t do them at all. There were a few times she even made me cry during these classes.

That day me and my P.E. teacher ran together. At the same pace. When we were getting closer to the finish line I asked her: ‘When should we speed up?’ She said ‘Come on, you speed up, I’ll keep my pace’. And so I did. I finished faster. I finished before the woman who once teased me for being a fat and lazy kid.

My time was 30:20 which I believe is pretty good for a first 5km run. I’ll work on improving it. :))

I can’t describe the emotions I felt when I was reaching the finish line. Actually one of the photos captured that pretty well. I felt pride. I felt happiness. Tears of happiness started appearing in my eyes. I felt on the top of the world. Such a pure raw emotion. I’ve never felt something like this. A runner’s high. I think this is it. I was invincible.

Oh my God, what if you wake up some day, and you’re 65, or 75, and you never got your memoir or novel written; or you didn’t go swimming in warm pools and oceans all those years because your thighs were jiggly and you had a nice big comfortable tummy; or you were just so strung out on perfectionism and people-pleasing that you forgot to have a big juicy creative life, of imagination and radical silliness and staring off into space like when you were a kid? It’s going to break your heart. Don’t let this happen.

YOU and only YOU are responsible for what’s happening to you.

Your reaction to every situation is causing the next situation.

Change your situation.

React in the best possible way NOW.
