For my clients, however, I try to instill physical AND mental health as priorities over weight; There is a major difference between being skinny and being healthy.

When I was “skinny” (120 pounds vs current 140), I obsessed over tracking my food, stressed over working out every time I did eat, binged and purged and used adderol as a means to stave off hunger. I used working out as a punishment and food was my guilt.

Looking back at old photos of me at my tiniest, I clearly remember thinking at the time that I was still fat or flabby. **Sure, I was the smallest I had ever been, but I damn sure didn’t feel good about myself.**

Since realizing that skinny does not equate to healthy OR HAPPY, I’m at a higher weight yet spiritually in a place where I’ve never felt
✨ stronger
✨ healthier
✨ more at peace with myself
✨ more accepting of myself
✨ more in love with what my body is capable of doing instead of how it looks

Most people workout for aesthetics, but if you’re constantly chasing physical perfection, it’s pretty difficult to sustain the chase. If you’re not already loving your body as it is, you will always look in the mirror and find a reason to critique it.

Accept your body as is now and learn to love the process of trying and failing. In a way it can be fun to solve your own personal puzzle of unlocking which methods work best for you and all aspects of your spiritual, physical and mental being. The looks you desire will come natural as you work towards clarity and discovery of Self.

Self-love and Self-acceptance is the answer to all. Establish a relationship of love and RESPECT for your body and soon the rest will follow.
