3 weeks between these photos…
And the scales have actually gone up! I mean what the hell!! I’ve stuck to tracking eating well, hydrating, training…
Old me would have panicked at that, even thought f% it! I’d have felt I was doing something wrong, not trying hard enough, needing to eat less or do more.
But something happened today that really made me stop and think 💭
Tilly (my 7yr old) was scrolling through my camera roll
and landed on the photo from 3 weeks ago…
She looked at it and said,
“wow mummy you look strong”
Not smaller
Not slimmer
STRONG
And the thing is… when I look at that photo, I don’t see what she sees, I see the bits I wanted to change, the version of me that needs work.
But she didn’t see any of that.
She just saw me, and that made me stop in my tracks!
Meanwhile here I am, 3 weeks later,
showing up, training, staying consistent, eating in a deficit…
The scales say I’ve gone up.
But I’ve lost centimetres.
I feel stronger.
And I can see the difference in these photos.
It really made me realise…
The scales don’t tell the whole story.
And neither does the way we’ve been taught to look at ourselves.
Maybe this journey isn’t just about changing our bodies…
maybe it’s about learning to see them differently too.
Stronger.
Capable.
Already enough 🤍
Thanks to for showing me what my body is really becoming, I love our sessions, and to all my women out there struggling with body issues, we all have them but maybe if we try and look through another’s eyes we might just love ourselves a bit more 💕
