\nAfter yet another conversation this morning with one of my clients it got me thinking once again of my own journey, transformation and how much I\u2019ve changed over the years.
\n*
\nOn the left was near the beginning of my strength training (as I\u2019ve always been active and into my fitness but only started lifting weights at that point) and things have certainly changed and progressed over the years. I remember myself at that time feeling slightly lost in life, lacking true passion and direction, struggling with my relationship with food and myself.
\n*
\nOn the right, truly I love my reflection, I love my confidence, my freedom, my new found strength and how strong, and getting stronger each week, my body is. I know I have still have work to do, but I\u2019m enjoying the journey and this is why I do it each day\/week\/month\/year. I feel free in my body.
\n*
\nIn these two pictures I see two different people, mind and body.
\n*
\nI had a history of crash dieting, restricting myself from certain foods, skipping meals etc. I wanted fast results because I thought weighing less would make me happier, more attractive, more accepted.
\n*
\nWhat changed? My mindset, my outlook on life, I stopped expecting to see results quickly, I stopped expecting other things or people to make me happy. I started putting in the work and investing time in myself. I started being proud of the results I was seeing in the increase of my lifts with the self gratification knowing how hard I was working for it.
\n*
\nI\u2019m still loving my journey and never want it to stop.
\n*
\nSo why do you want the quick fix?
\n*
\nMy biggest tip would be to accept where you are right now, your body won\u2019t change if you don\u2019t love and accept what it can do for you. Be proud of the body you live in each day.
