This was one of the moments I realised something needed to change.
Every weekend ended the same way - passing out on the sofa, not fully sure how I got home. Waking up hungover, ordering takeaway after takeaway to try and soak up the alcohol, only to do it all again.
Of course, going out and having fun is part of being 21. But if Iām honest, my relationship with alcohol and food at that time wasnāt healthy. It was having a real impact on my health, my body and my mindset, and I didnāt fully understand just how damaging it was until I eventually made the transformation to my healthiest self.
Now when I look back, I often think āTHANK GOODNESS I TOOK ACTION!ā
Some days I feel an overwhelming sense of gratitude for the version of me who recognised that something needed to change. Because I still catch myself thinking āwhat would life look like now if I hadnāt made that decision?ā
11 years later, Iām not perfect. I donāt eat the healthiest meals every day and I donāt follow a strict workout schedule every single week. But honestly, I believe thatās a huge part of why Iāve been able to sustain a healthy lifestyle for so long, and makes me successful in what I do.
My life is fun. I eat for health but also for comfort, enjoyment, convenience and social occasions. I have strong habits and systems in place that support me, and thatās what allows me to stay consistent over time, rather than trying to be perfect every single day.
Because this is where so many people struggle with weight loss, fitness and building a healthy lifestyle. They search for the perfect plan.
But when you start focusing on building a lifestyle you actually enjoy, consistency becomes a lot easier to maintain, and thatās where real, long-term transformation happens.āØ
