Long Post Alert: Just speaking my personal truth.
**DO WHAT’S RIGHT FOR YOU. ❤️💪🏾**
I see so many people struggling with their health, carrying extra weight, dealing with chronic conditions, and simply not feeling their best.
I know because **I was one of those people.**
(And dont get me started with menopause - I will save that one.)
At a heavier weight, I was dealing with several health issues. High blood pressure and Stage 4 endometriosis were just **two of them**. There were other things happening with my health that made me realize something had to change.
I had to take action and take control of the things that were within my control.
That meant becoming more active, losing weight, being more mindful of what I put into my body, and eventually making fitness and bodybuilding a major part of my lifestyle.
And yes, my body changed.
I hear the comments:
“You’re getting too skinny.”
“Don’t lose any more weight.”
“Don’t get too muscular.”
“You don’t look the same.”
**They’re right. I don’t look the same—because I’m not the same.**
I may be a smaller version of myself, but I’m stronger, more active, more disciplined, and more aware of my health than I’ve been in years.
And most importantly…
**I FEEL BETTER.**
People will always have an opinion about what they think your body should look like. But they aren't the ones living in your body. They don't know what you’ve dealt with physically, what you’ve overcome, or how hard you’ve worked to feel better.
So ask yourself:
**Why continue suffering with things you may be able to improve simply because other people are more comfortable with the old version of you?**
Do what is right for **YOUR health.**
Do what makes **YOU feel better.**
Take control of the things you **CAN control.**
Your journey is personal.
**It’s not about them. It’s about YOU. ❤️💪🏾**
