Instagram makes fitness look easy.
You see the PBs, the race medals, the strong bodies, the confidence and the “after”.
You don’t see the girl who was scared to be seen. The girl who hated PE, got picked last and genuinely believed she just wasn’t sporty.
You don’t see the bad runs, the awkward gym sessions, the self-doubt or the days I wanted to give up.
I’m not sharing this because I’ve “made it”.
I’m sharing it because I know there are women scrolling through Instagram right now thinking they’re too unfit, too overweight, too old, too far behind or simply “not sporty”.
I used to think exactly the same.
You don’t have to feel confident to start.
You just have to give yourself a chance to become the person you currently think you can’t be 💖
