Regrann from @gi.jodi - The problem is, once we see our bodies at their peak condition we constantly compare ourselves to that “stage ready” physique. We feel less adequate when we aren’t shredded AF , abs poppin 24/7... but for most of us, staying that lean all the time (especially when you’re trying to grow dem mooscles) is just not sustainable. I’ll be the first to admit That I struggle and am 100% guilty of comparing myself to my peak physique. I need to put on more size to prep for nationals, which means gaining weight before cutting again (also, I’ve had a hard time keeping my hands off all the sweet tings in life 🍩🍪🍦🥧🍰)and it’s a mind f***.... so for me, big time focus this off/growing season on self love/acceptance, body positivity, and good vibes through the process. So here I am, one month post comp, 14lbs up, abs not poppin, with a smile on my face learning to love my body at each and every phase. • Believe this..... you are just as beautiful Lean, fluffy, average, curvy, chunky, shredded AF. #absinhiding #theyllbeback PS: fml i need a tan, but this lighting has me lookin like a 👻 - #regrann
