my best transformation yet āØš¤
There have been so many times Iāve wanted to go back to that 22 year old G & tell her it all turned out better than she could have ever imagined.
(& that it wasnāt because she finally āgot skinny enoughā)
There were so many points in my life where I never EVER thought my mental health would be where it is today. I didnāt think Iād ever be able to experience the joy that sharing a coffee & slice of cake with a friend brings, be present while eating dinner with the people I love, or feel comfortable watching my body change.
And now, Iām watching my body grow a whole human.
The same body I spent years trying to make smaller is now growing, adapting, changing, nourishing another life & carrying me through one of the biggest transformations Iāve ever experienced.
And honestly? Iām fu***ng proud of her.
You miss out on SO much when you live purely to be the smallest version of yourself. I spent far too long worrying about food & my weight, avoiding situations and not truly being present. I was so concerned with how I looked that I forgot to actually LIVE.
My life has changed in unimaginable ways over the last few years, and itās all come from letting go of beauty standards & putting my mental health first.
Years ago, you would NEVER have seen me showing up as ME, meeting new people, feeling confident, enjoying good food without anxiety, letting my body change without immediately wanting to control it, or simply being present enough to enjoy my own life.
And now Iām 28 weeks pregnant & heading into my third trimester, watching my body do something extraordinary.
That makes me fu***ng smile. āØ
Iām so, so glad I started taking my mental health seriously when I did. Exercise, good nutrition, understanding my emotions & talking openly with people have changed my life in ways I honestly canāt put into words. š«¶š¼
Iām proud of how far Iāve come. Proud of the girl who was struggling & proud that I chose to help her.
Because the best transformation wasnāt becoming smaller.
It was becoming MEš¤
