I’m putting myself, first!
I know when I post pics like this people roll their eyes and think I’m just doing it for attention. I used to weigh 260lbs!! I have basically lost a middle school child. No one realizes the struggle of being overweight. It has nothing to do with pushing myself away from the table it had to do with imbalances in my body. When I fixed those I fixed my weight. Along with the weight going the depression left my he brain fog went away. It all was fixed after I payed enough attention to What my body was screaming at me!! Something wasn’t right. I had felt that way since my son was born. Something just wasn’t okay within me. Of course the dr’s put me on meds that made things worse. After years of struggle and depression and low self worth I finally decided to take care of me. When I got a divorce i realized I was the only one I had so I needed to make sure I was okay! I began to was and learn about insulin resistance the diagnosis I was given many years before. Finally landing upon someone who actually helped me. Within 2 months I was a different person. Not only had I lost weight, I had found Me again. Sometimes as women our desire to care for others outweighs our care for ourselves. It shouldn’t but it does. We need to care for ourselves. So today I may not be “skinny” but I feel good in my skin. Working on bettering myself and everyday. Ladies take care of yourself!!!#womenmotivation#takecareofyouroralhealth #vunerability
In today's fast-paced world, self-care is often overlooked, especially by women who juggle multiple responsibilities. It's crucial to recognize that neglecting our own needs can lead to emotional and physical burnout. Research shows that stress and weight gain are interconnected, and addressing underlying health issues like hormonal imbalances can be a game changer. Many women face societal pressures that make them prioritize others over themselves, leading to feelings of inadequacy. Embracing self-care doesn’t just improve our well-being, it empowers us to tackle challenges with renewed strength. Incorporating mindfulness practices, proper nutrition, and regular exercise can significantly impact one’s mental health and self-esteem. Additionally, seeking support from health professionals knowledgeable about conditions such as insulin resistance can provide tailored strategies for weight management and mental clarity. Remember, self-care is not a luxury—it's a necessity. By investing time in your health and happiness, you can inspire others to do the same, creating a healthier and more supportive community. Let's champion each other in the journey towards embracing our true selves.
