Then VS Now

Then, I was painfully insecure about every aspect of ME. Weight and physical appearance aside, I felt I was complete inadequate in every single way. I wasn’t smart enough. Nice enough. Liked enough. Cool enough. Interesting enough. I was never ENOUGH. But, to who? I still don’t know, but it’s clear I was comparing myself to something or someone.
.
All of this insecurity led me down a negative path. I’d binge eat because I was so far from a size/weight that I thought would make me feel comfortable in my skin. As a result, I’d drink too much to fit in with the “cool” crowd, fulfill my social outlet, and cope with the incredible amount of insecurity that was so deeply rooted. Basically, I was digging myself into a deeper, darker hole that I thought I’d never get out.
.
I reached a breaking point where I realized I was sick and tired of being sick and tired. No one could dig me out of the trench, except for myself. Knowing that proper nutrition is fuel for the body AND the mind, I started by making a lifestyle change. A change to feed my body foods that would not only help the outside, but improve the inside, as well. I also made it a habit to move my body in some way each day that would help me become more in tune with how I felt physically.
.
After doing this for a few weeks, I noticed some BIG changes. Clothes started fitting differently. My thoughts and interactions took on a more positive note. I wondered what would happen if I started incorporating more healthy changes one at a time. Little by little, I removed those negatives that were BRINGING ME DOWN.
.
Now, I’m a completely different person that the one on the left. I feel confident and secure in how I feel, think, and act. I work every day at improving myself, my life, and my family’s life. And I have my toolbox of nutrition and fitness resources to thank for helping me reach this point!
