When you scroll through your fitness inspiration accounts, keep in mind that you are only seeing outer shells and what they want you to see. It is important to remember that despite appearances, everyone works through insecurities, no matter how fit or strong they appear. I think it is important to speak about that part of the health journey, because some are under the illusion that the insecurities disappear once you reach your health or fitness goal. Occasionally, I still catch unloving thoughts from my past overweight and insecure self, try to creep back in. When this happens, I simply observe instead of engage, because I know that….
1. Anything contrary to love, is not my truth of who I authentically am.
2. By engaging, I give those thoughts power, and that’s not the life I’m trying to live.
3. Those thoughts were the result of my weight gain and unhappiness in the past, and I am not trying to go back.
The reality is, if you are striving to better yourself in any way (health, relationships, professionally…), there is a good chance you will be met with some level of resistance. That’s growth, so take it as a good sign that you are on the right path. Get concerned if there is no push-back and it seems easy.
