I wish there was a way to show you how I really felt inside compared to how I feel inside now. When I started (pic on the left) I was struggling.
I was struggling with everything from Self image, self talk, the ability to be a good mother, what I wanted and what I really needed to live life thriving not barely surviving.
I was thinking more and more about âjust having a glass of wineâ bc that would help me escape (when really that would cause more problems). For years, alcohol was my coping mechanism for everything. I couldnât go back to that! I was 6 years sober on the left. But drowning. And thinking daily, maybe hourly about drinking again.
What did I truly want? What did I really need? How was I going to survive mothering 2 under 2 children? Was I ever going to walk up the stairs without getting winded? I needed to feel alive because at the moment I felt trapped.
One day, crying in my closet during nap time. I decided - I canât be this person. I quickly jumped on my phone and signed up for a FASTer Way 6 week group before changing my mind.
Within a week of living the FASTer Way I was feeling better. I was eating real food and doing really effective workouts.
It was not only a confidence boost but I felt my mind shifting ~ I can do this. Just keep going I thought. Everything gets easier with time.
I knew how I didnât want to feel. I knew I wanted to keep going because the best was yet to come. The more you believe you can- the more you will.
A Mindset of âconsistencyâ was a new way of thinking for me.
I knew about âtrusting the journeyâ in my sobriety journey but I never applied that concept to eating and being active prior to the FASTer Way. Thankfully, with time and practice, that is the only way I think and live now.
As your mindset shifts, you will trust your journey more and you will have goals you never even knew were possible!!â Incredible đ Thanks for sharing your journey with us, Stacy.
