Some food for thought. Summer is approaching and many girls feel added pressure to be thin, lose weight, cut calories, engage in crazy cardio sessions, etc.

The left is me a couple summers ago. I was doing all of the above. I ate very little, and what I did eat was fruit or veggies or occasionally some fish or a protein shake. I dropped 15lbs, my friends and family were concerned, and I was miserable. But I couldn’t. stop. I wanted to weigh less, I tried doing more cardio, I thought I was a shining example of health and fitness and that I SHOULD be this dedicated. I was missing out on life.

The right is me a few months ago. Eating around 2100 calories daily, well rounded meals of protein and fats and carbs (actually enjoying what I’m eating lol), weight training several times a week and ENJOYING my workouts, and most importantly loving myself.

I realized that being a 00 is attainable, but not maintainable. My mentality is stronger, my body is stronger, yes I gained back more than I lost but helllooooo check out that booty 🍑🍑😂 like the difference in my quad circumference is insane, and I couldn’t be happier.

2. It helps you to hear and to listen to your heart, and to get back in touch with your authentic self.

3. It acts as a tonic when you’re feeling tired and stressed, or worn out, and worn down by life’s demands.

4. It allows you to sort through, and to regulate, emotions – so you’re able to feel calm and more grounded again.

5. It enables you to rest; it renews your energy; and it revives your creativity and curiosity.
