Funny thing, I remember in my late teens/twenties OBSESSING about the number on the scale. SOOO MUCH SO, that I did some ridiculous things to try and get that “perfect number”. The number that was going to tell me I was worthy, perfect, good enough. The funny thing was, the more the number went down, I didn’t feel better about myself. I just kept thinking, if I could only lose 5 more lbs, my life would finally be PERFECT. That cycle continued for far longer than I would care to admit. And guess what?? My life WASN’T perfect. I just felt worse and worse about myself. Every thing I ate, I calculated. I planned my life around my workouts, and if I went anywhere, I FULL-ON OBSESSED about what I would do if I had to eat. I can tell you, living like that STRAIGHT UP SUCKS. Then, I started working out. Good thing.....until some of the other bad habits I was doing morphed into chronic over-exercising. That’s NOT living. God did not create us to live miserable, anxiety-ridden, and stressed out about those things. I finally dug myself out of that dark place and got into a regular workout schedule, eating healthy, and I became very mindful of how certain behaviors affected me, so that I could rid myself of the stupid BS that I had done to myself. Fast forward to today, where I’m on a regular workout schedule and eating NORMAL (NOT perfect!) and drinking these AMAZING ketones that make me feel like GOLD, and I don’t have time to worry about the scale, or whether I measure up to everyone else’s standards or any of the other STUFF that can muddy up our thinking, because I’m too busy being happy, feeling good, doing my best at being a fit and healthy mama to my two girls and enjoying the life I’ve been blessed with..... #timetothrowoutthescale #ketonelover #ketonemama https://www.instagram.com/p/Br4q29rHNYf/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=2z2hegu5ovq9
