I thought losing weight would make me happier and more confident.
But at my "goal weight", contemplating life, I realised that no amount of external validation was ever going to bring me happiness.
If I wanted to be happy, I needed to make real changes to my lifestyle.
I'm not talking about switching up my workouts or diet plan...
...I had to change my mindset and beliefs around my body and my worth.
I had spent years working on the perfect "Bikini Body" but totally disregarded what was plainly obvious looking back.
The level of restriction, discipline, and high expectations of what I thought I should look like was having a detrimental effect on my mental well-being.
You see in the beginning, I wasn't exercising to be strong or improve my lifespan.
Neither was I nourishing my body for energy and vitality.
I deprived myself of true enjoyment of life, in pursuit of reducing the number on the scales.
I didn't consider that what I was doing was unhealthy.
From what I saw on social media I was convinced I was helping myself be "better" at life.
My happiness improved for the better when I did these three simple things.
Started prioritising my health over my size
Considered what healthy looked like to me (ignoring unrealistic beauty standards)
Started doing less but doing it better and more mindfully
