Hello ✨
I created this blog to help inspire others to lead a healthy lifestyle & to share my story.
I did not always make the healthiest choices. In fact at one point, I would have considered myself very unhealthy. It was not just about what I was putting in my body, but it was about my relationship with what I was eating. I would shame myself for eating a piece of pizza, or a chocalate chip cookie. I would be so shameful about it that it would lead me to making me feel I had to restrict myself for the rest of the day. Then to top it off, I would feel like I had to associate the amount of calories, I ate with how many I need to burn. So if I ate that slice of pizza for dinner that was 250 calories, I would need to hit the elliptical after to burn that many calories off.
Looking back, my mindset was completely wrong. I was living in fear and I wasn’t eating for enjoyment, instead I was eating with no purpose, leading to a vicious cycle of binge eating and shaming myself.
My education and experiences have shaped me to become a better person today. After 4 years of vigorous courses, I have learned all about the body and exercise and even nutrition. I now do not eat in fear. I do not regret what I eat. I eat with purpose & I exercise because I enjoy it. I do not make it a chore and force myself to burn off my dinner.
The more you enjoy your food and exercise with purpose, the easier time you will have to maintain a healthier lifestyle. So, I am challenging you to stop putting yourself down and making yourself feel guilty. I encourage yourself to improve your relationship with food!
