17.01.2022 Loving yourself can be such a complicated process for some people. I’m one of them. I have been in pursuit of loving who I am since I was a child and I think eventually, I just gave up as I found it just too hard to fight the long held belief of who I should be. Then 5 years ago I became a mother and was blessed with a ridiculously perfect and beautiful baby girl. I was overwhelmed by how much I loved her and wanted to protect her but was also hit by deep sorrow that she may ...ever feel about herself how I felt about myself my whole life. I made it my goal to ensure she would never ever question my love for her and help her to love and believe in herself always. The only way to do it would be to teach her by my own actions. It was time to change how I saw myself. One area that so many of us place importance on on our quest to love ourselves is to say that when we lose or gain weight we will be happy. We will then love what we see in the mirror. But this is just another form of delaying our healing process. We need to stop believing we have to change something in order to love ourselves. We need to decide what is best for our life and stop seeking validation from anybody else. Nobody can make you feel love for yourself. It’s an inside job and you are 100% in control of how you choose to feel. 2 years ago I finally lost enough weight that I felt healthy and fit and was incredibly proud of that. Then I let the doubts creep in. I now had something new to obsess about and dislike and convince myself made me a lesser person. You see, one of the hard things about being overweight for most of your life is the stretch in your skin. So when you finally lose weight, you are left with skin that doesn’t want to just snap back and fit your reduced body. It’s all loose and floppy. And when you’re in your 40’s, it’s intensified. I became ashamed of my body yet again. And if I’m honest, it stopped me from trying to further improve my body composition as I really didn’t want any more extra skin. Fast forward to today and I’ve made massive progress in believing in myself and am learning to forgive myself for placing other people’s opinions and feelings above my own. I’m still a work in progress for so many things but I believe I’m a perfect person just as I am. I’m not less or more than anyone else. My happiness is no more important than anybody else’s. And during an extremely hot week here in Perth, more progress was made again. Instead of exercising in my usual full length leggings, I freed my loose, floppy and sweaty skin by wearing shorts instead. Shorts in public! And I’m happy to say I didn’t give a fuck what anyone else thought

05.01.2022 SELF CARE This line resonated with me in particular. True self-care is not salt baths and chocolate cake, it is making the choice to build a life you don’t need to regularly escape from I have been asked so often recently what I’m doing in terms of self care and l’ve replied that I’m doing nothing. I’ve become too hung up on what I can’t afford to do in my journey to heal myself that I’ve forgotten there are so many other free ways to take care of yourself. My fave is dri...Continue reading
