You can’t compare your chapter 1 to someone else’s chapter 20.
⬇️Let’s discuss⬇️

We are doing ourselves a massive disservice if we are comparing our progress/body to others. Are those insta fitness models used as “motivation” really motivating us, or just making us feel inadequate? 🤔

Story time:

When I moved to Australia in 2017, I had been consistently working out for a little over a year and it had definitely become a part of who I was by then.

I remember feeling SO out of place in my new gym and being hyper aware of all of the ladies in the gym. Something I don’t remember ever feeling in Portland.

On one of my first days in there I saw a pair of super fit girls doing heavy squats. Instead of telling myself, ‘wow, good for them!’ I immediately felt envious, even more out of place and disappointed I couldn’t do that too.

I went home and told Daniel about it and I remember he said, “Who cares?” He wasn’t being insensitive, he was RIGHT. Literally, who the F cares what someone else is doing? (ME, I cared 🤣 so this took some time for me)

Now looking back, those girls most likely had been doing it much longer than me at that point. I was comparing myself to people that were in a completely different place than I was and I allowed myself to get down about that.

Now, I only compare myself to ME. What can MY body do? When I see someone killing it, I am just impressed by them, not jealous.

So this is your Friday reminder to just do you 🥰
