I think the photo on the right was Aug 2020. Anyway, I never believed when people told me that it takes 21 days to break a habit.
But I tried it anyway. In December 2020, when I decided that enough was enough, because I didn't even feel like taking part in society anymore, feeling so unhappy, anxious, and dissatisfied with myself, overweight, out of breath for no reason, basically fighting with everyone around me, I decided to create my Own 21-day challenge. Just a little thing I wrote myself, things I felt I needed to do or not do every day to start living a healthier life and lose weight while I am at it. In this 21 day challenge was something like more water, 50 squats per day, daily walk, play with your kids or something.
Anyway, those 21 days changed the trajectory of my life, because in those 21 days, I broke terrible habits that I had all my life! 21 days became 3 months, became a year, and here I am, never happier in my life!๐
But of course, Joan Excuses will say it was just about the body (๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ). Meanwhile, I have literally saved myself, my marriage, and my family by just taking better care of myself (y'all, I was a sad little person to live with in the right pic, I don't even know how my husband didn't show me the exit.๐คฆ๐ฝโโ๏ธ)
Anyway, go look at my stories if you want to see the very first reel I posted on IG on the first day of my fitness journey, on 30 Dec 2020! I think if you click somewhere on the story, it will allow you to watch the whole video; if not, then you will have to scroll down my reels tab.๐ฑ
I hope this inspires you, Mama, to do what you know you gotta do! The benefits are far-reaching!๐ค
I am SO GLAD I STARTED THAT DAY - 30 Dec 2020. IMAGINE I JUST FABRICATED ANOTHER EXCUSE AND DIDN'T!๐ฅบ
Imagine how mad you're gonna be at yourself in 6 months that you didn't start today!๐
What do you think of my weight loss/mental health transformation? Tell me!๐
