Here’s to remembering:
Alongside coming out to my family and meeting my amazing boyfriend, achieving my fitness goal was one of the happiest days of my life. I felt free. At the beginning of this year, I lost that feeling. Instead of waking up every morning and appreciating the body transformation I had undertaken, I was full of self-loathing and doubt that I wasn’t changing at all. I started to compare myself to other people, looking for the next step I needed to take in order put my mind at ease. I looked and I looked, and nothing ever worked. The reason it never works is because the self-acceptance I was trying to fill, was already filled - I just forgot. Never forget. Always remember how much you want to change and how much you have changed. It isn’t always easy, but if you can do that, you will start to realise that you already have changed and feel free. Never let the past eradicate your motivation, leave the unhealthy habits behind you and take each day as it comes.
