Just a little note to myself.
1) to remember that confidence gained in yourself and your body is never a bad thing. The doorbell cam played back and I truly thought, WHO IS THAT AT MY HOUSE for a split second 😆
I’m proud of the changes I’ve seen in 4 months and I’m excited about what my consistency and dedication will physically look like on 1/13/27, my 1 year anniversary of being sick of my own excuses to get moving, lift heavy and fuel with food more times than I indulge. 💪🫶🤝
But as I sit here typing this, I’m also thinking more on the fact that
2) those “before” Jan 2026 photos are still me.
Ya know?
👉Still someone worthy of having photos and videos taken and shared of her.
And to be clear, I’ve always jumped in a group pic at girls night, we do family photos for the holidays, and I’d never stop someone from capturing a moment of me hugging my girl on the soccer field.
But it was just a bit surprising to how full-body pics or videos of me are so few and far between, compared to selfie shots taken from the chest up.
Sometimes content creation be like therapy, y’all 😂
I’m thinking about what that camera-roll-finding👆not only implies, but proves,
and I’m thinking about what I’d feel if my daughters made that same subconscious or conscious choice to not let/want themselves be photographed throughout their chapters of life ahead.
🥹 I think a lot of us can relate and probably have the same answer to that introspection.
So don’t mind me as I navigate this weird line between being on a fat loss journey, knowing that the main driver is my health and longevity but that the physical changes are also something that affect me…
while also raising 3 girls in this world, in a time where body positivity seems to have veered off the track a bit and lost the plot.
Sheesh.
Wasn’t expecting these mental gymnastics at 2:38pm.
Anyone relate??
