My biggest insecurity

I’m so proud of myself for how far I’ve come 🥲 at the time my weight gain was my biggest insecurity after being petite practically my whole life and then gaining 60+lbs during my first pregnancy. I knew it was my #1 priority to lose the weight I started off slow and gradually started working out 6 days a week and tracking my calories. I don’t track calories anymore but still love to kove my body 5-6 days a week. These videos are about 9 months apart. I hope this inspires someone who was in my position not too long ago 🩷 #weightloss #postpartum #weightstruggles

... Read moreNavigating postpartum weight struggles can be challenging. Many women experience insecurities after gaining weight during pregnancy, feeling pressured to return to their pre-pregnancy bodies. It's crucial to focus on wellness rather than weight alone. Embrace physical activity that you enjoy, and remember, gradual changes are key for long-term success. Prioritize self-love and acceptance in your fitness journey—your worth isn't defined by numbers on a scale. Many find comfort in support groups or online communities to share experiences and tips on body positivity and healthy living. Research suggests that focusing on a balanced lifestyle rather than drastic diets can lead to sustainable results. Remember to celebrate small victories along the way, as they are stepping stones to greater wellbeing. You're not alone in feeling this way; it's a shared struggle among many mothers. Connect with others who understand your journey, and use their experiences to uplift your own. Lastly, take care of your mental health as you navigate this personal journey—it's just as important as physical health.

Overthinking Was My Biggest Insecurity
I used to struggle with overthinking a lot. It was hard not to focus on things I was worrying about or things that happened in my life. Staying present was difficult. However, after some self-reflection and inner work, I learned how to stop the overthinking and learn to love the present. Here are t

would be my self-confidence and the ever running thoughts that I don't deserve things that is followed up with bad luck and hardships that just confirm that that is what I deserve. hardships. building self confidence is not easy nor is it something easy to maintain when starting at ground zero.

I’m not going to lie but it’s everything about myself. I think I have become so complacent that I hide myself because it feels like I can’t do anything right. So I don’t take pictures, I don’t really go out.
