From 175lbs of invisibility and social anxiety to 140lbs of strength, energy, confidence, and joy. That is what this Beach Body journey has done for me.
As a coach for the past two years, I have been able to keep that 30lb weight loss a loss. Prior to this journey, I would lose and gain, lose and gain. My journey looked like a high speed roller coaster. I would blend in with the walls, I would avoid most social situations, and I would keep my opinions or wants to myself.
No longer do I dread going out in public. No longer do I mind speaking up. No longer do I feel invisible, outcast or worth less. I am worthy, unique, strong, visible, and loved. I am loved by myself best of all.
It’s not always the outside appearance that makes you shy away from your passion. Usually it’s the inner fears and lies you have come to believe that manifest themselves into a physical appearance.
Learn to love yourself, take care of yourself, and talk to yourself like you are your best friend, fuel your body with proper nutrition (no deprivation), and move your body in whatever way is comfortable for you. Then, I believe, you will manifest into the best version of yourself: a fierce, loved, healthy, joyful, grateful version of you. Well, that is what happened to me.
Thank you, Beach Body for pointing me in that direction. Thank you, Old Self for being strong enough to start, and thank you, New Self, for being strong enough to stay!
