I GAINED 20LBS

when you hear fitness journey you don’t usually hear gaining weight being the positive, usually it’s about losing weight, which is also completely fine

starting my fitness journey was full of i dont knows

i had struggled with my relationship with food & my body. i had lost 15lbs from not providing my body with the nutrients it needed & still didn’t like what i looked like. i strived to be the smallest version of myself & it was a constant battle with myself. skipping meals & not eating enough became my norm.

one random day i decided i wanted to tone my body & that started my fitness journey. i learned what to eat, how to eat, how to workout, how to build muscle. from spending 45 minutes on the treadmill to spending 1.5hours lifting/cardio/core/training it was been a journey. it still continues to be a journey i am still learning every day new things. the one thing that has stayed constant is loving this new body i am in. yes i weigh 20lbs more now but thats also MUSCLE, that’s strength, that’s happiness. now i go through my cuts & bulks SAFELY & PROPERLY, but the number on the scale is just that a NUMBER. my body fat % & my overall feeling in my skin determines where i am, not a number on a scale that means nothing. i love being 20lbs STRONGER 🫶🏼
