Hi guys I'm alive 👋 Took a break from social media for a while and I'm so glad I did. I wanted to take a step back and remind myself about why I love this lifestyle and why it makes me happy. It's so easy to get caught up in the mindfuck that is the whole fitness social media community and that's exactly what happened to me. I was so focused on comparing myself to others and not being where I wanted to be that I was making myself miserable over things that really don't matter in the grand scheme of things. Yeah I might not be at my goal yet but does that mean I'm going to quit and never get there? Hell no! Does it mean that I'm not as good or less of a person than those other girls? Hell no! I was getting so caught up in the comparisons that it made me hate my body, hate working out, want nothing to do with healthy food, and just had an overall negative outlook on myself and my journey. I had to remind myself of my reasons why I love this lifestyle and they are: 1️⃣ I feel so much better mentally and physically when I'm on point 2️⃣ I get to push myself to do things I never thought at when I was over 200lbs that I would ever be able to come close to doing and feel that sense of pride and accomplishment 3️⃣ I've met some of my best friends who are some of the best people I know and who are such an amazing support system 4️⃣ I get to transform my body into what I want it to be and no one can take credit for that because it's all me putting in the work in the gym and in the kitchen 5️⃣ It keeps me sane and makes me an overall happier, more positive person overall when I feel on track and in control. I'm still lifting (minus the last few days due to being stupidly sick), macros are on point (for the most part let's be honest lol), and my head is in a much better place. I also have to thank my #FYHC ladies for that because already they've changed my life and been such a great support system and I love all of them ❤️ Okay enough rambling 🙈 Here's a picture of my obnoxious workout outfit from 4th of July because I was kinda obsessed with it tbh 😋
