I grew up watching my mom pop the latest diet pill, try the newest crazy diet plan, and I even had my bouts with mild eating disorders as a teenager. ?At 14 years old, I was begging her to buy me a diet pill that a friend of mine was using to lose weight. ?I had no clue what eating healthy actually meant. ?Nor did I understand that exercise doesn?t have to be a cruel punishment. ?Actually, running builds a great body image while releasing positive HAPPY hormones.
There is no secret to weight loss or fitness. ?Everyone thinks that if they get to this ?magic? number on the scale, they will finally be happy. ?I can personally tell you that is NOT true. ?I reached that number on the scale a long time ago, and I was bloody miserable. ?I had only just discovered all of the internal demons that had caused me to gain that weight!
The real happiness is not wanting and succeeding at weight loss. ?It is found in the moment of gratitude and empowerment. ?I have every bit of control of my happiness, because being happy is a choice. ?BUT I don?t always have to be in control of it. ?Things are going to happen in life that will shake up my routines (I just started a new job, where I?m travelling a lot and working 12 hour days right now), but I have to adapt and overcome. ?When I overcome, I find strength. ?When I realize how strong I am, I am proud. ?When I?m proud, I shine and give off good vibes that make others happy. ?When I make others feel happy, I am happy myself. ?It?s a great cycle that I would only know through this amazing world of health and fitness.
It has taken YEARS for me to understand this. ?But I finally get it, and it has new meaning to me.
xoxo
