I’ve been trying to find the words to write on this post and it’s been more difficult than I expected, it’s not always easy finding the right words but here it goes hoping that someone finds this post relatable and they can gain something from it. As a personal trainer and some one who’s always been proud of their mental and physical strength, I have been fighting some demons the past couple months. As we all know, the world works in mysterious ways, and sometimes things happen to us that we have no control over. These past 8 months have put me to the test, things have happened to me that I could not control nor understand, things that caused me to fall into a deep deep depression. A depression so strong that it affected me mentally and spiritually. Through my struggle as I spoke with someone about my situation I felt like my achievements didn’t matter, like the things that had previously held value around me didn’t hold the same value, I fell incomplete. I felt like There was something missing and I didn’t know what it was. After months of work and isolation, I was able to see that I was missing myself, I no longer was, nor did I recognized, the person I was seeing in the mirror, it was as if I had lost myself, my essence during those troubling times.
I’m proud to say that I’ve been working on finding who I am and I’ve been learning to forgive my mistakes because “an honest mans pillow its his peace of mind and when you lay down on the pillow at night, no matter who’s in our bed we ALL sleep alone.” I invite you to forgive yourself and understand that you are human and continue to work on always being the best you.
I’m here to help and guide you. Here’s my transformation of 12 weeks, I shed down 22lbs and this is only the beginning.
