Not good enough to carry his name🙃

6 days agoEdited to

... Read moreStarting my fitness journey wasn't just about building muscle; it was a battle against the voice inside that said I wasn't good enough—"Because I was a f*ck up," was a thought I often wrestled with. But the gym has this unique way of teaching you resilience. Every set, every rep, was more than just physical effort; it was a statement against those internal doubts. I remember days when others doubted me, making sure I "knew it," as the words suggest. But each moment of discouragement fueled my determination to prove not just them, but myself wrong. The transformation wasn't just visible in my body but in my mindset. The tags #gymtransformation and #fitnesstransformation are more than hashtags—they mark milestones of personal growth. Bodybuilding and being part of a community like #gymratsonly provided structure and support. It’s incredible how sharing weaknesses can build strengths. If you're feeling like you’re not good enough to carry your own name or pursue your goals, know that this feeling can be transformed with commitment and support. My experience taught me that gym transformations are as much mental as they are physical, and embracing that can take you further than you thought possible.

Chosen. Loved. Enough. Black woman, that’s you.
The fear of not being chosen runs deep for us. It’s not just about love, it’s about how the world has treated Black women for centuries. We’ve been erased, overlooked, desired but not protected, leaned on but not uplifted. And it leaves a scar so heavy that sometimes we wonder if real love, real sa
