The more I talk to people about their fitness journeys, the more I realize how much I’ve changed as a person. I used to run head first into a “lose weight” frenzy, thinking I was fat, unworthy, and all I wanted to be valued and loved and admired for being “skinny” or “pretty”. I used to give up fast and often, yoyoing and hating myself for it all.

But now honestly I don’t really care. I’m not in it to be skinny or some unreachable impossible ideal of beauty. I just want to be fit and healthy. Look, who doesn’t want to be attractive? We all do. But 100% is what you think of yourself. If you don’t think you’re worthy, no praise will be enough. If you’re trusting of your journey, you’re motivated by the right things and you appreciate yourself and your hard work, you’re going to love what you see (on most days). Main point is, your priorities, your values and your habits will change, FOR GOOD.

I’m never done with getting stronger/fitter, working harder, being more disciplined, treating my body better, loving myself more, etc etc. But becoming “skinnier” will not be my goal anymore. #knowthedifference #共勉之 #fattyfattybombom
