MY TRANSFORMATION SO FAR
AUG 23’-AUG 24’
This time last year I was about 17lbs heavier. But that’s the thing.. I didn’t care about the number on the scale — and I still don’t!
I’ve had my fair share of unhealthy habits, fad diets, exercises that some influencer told me I’d lose weight in 2 weeks.. and I’m not a nutritionist, or a doctor, I’m just a girl who listens to her body but nonetheless those diets ^^ didn’t work.
In Jan 2024, I decided to make a lifestyle change. I didn’t decide to do just a “diet”. I chose to challenge myself by trying something new, but something I could actually COMMIT to.
The more I post, the more I can get into my specifics and what I found has/hasn’t worked for me — but change DOESN’T HAPPEN OVERNIGHT. It’s easy to feel frustrated — I still do! I’m not where I want to be and it’s easy to think I’m not doing enough, and I should be doing more. But getting 1% better each day is all you can do (and on that I suggest everyone read Atomic Habits).
Rant is over! 💖for those who have been on their fitness journey, or maybe you just started, you’re doing great. Show up for you, and know you’re awesome 😎

In today's fast-paced world, many people find themselves overwhelmed by idealized fitness journeys portrayed on social media. To maintain motivation and avoid burnout, it's essential to focus on personal progress rather than comparing yourself to others. Reading self-help and habit-building books like 'Atomic Habits' can provide practical strategies for making sustainable changes in your life. Keep in mind that the road to health is not a straight path — it’s filled with ups and downs. This journey is not just about losing weight or meeting a specific goal; it's about fostering a healthier and happier lifestyle. Remember, showing up for yourself every day is a significant achievement. Celebrate each small victory, whether it's a successful workout, a nutritious meal, or simply having the courage to start anew. Share your journey with others for accountability and encouragement, engaging with communities that inspire you. Use hashtags like #transformationjourney and #myweightlossjourney to connect with like-minded individuals who support your aspirations. Ultimately, prioritize what feels right for you, as self-love and patience often lead to the best results.
I’m so proud of you ml
