I hate to admit this, but I was an addict
|
I was an addict… Addictive behaviors can manifest in many ways and they did for me, Reader. First, I was addicted to exercise. I remember about 7 years ago when I was still in my disordered behaviors my family and I were going on vacation to Mexico. Vacations made me anxious because I didn't have a gym or way to exercise. So guess what I did….👀👀👀👀 I woke up at god-forsaken hours to do a YouTube workout to burn the calories I anticipated eating to ease my anxiety Some of you may relate to that, some of you may be like why the fuck would you be addicted to exercise I hate it so much. I can relate to you both My addictive behaviors didn't just show up in my “discipline” for working out 🤦♀️ I soon became addicted to numbing my brain with a binge 🤦♀️The high of planning a new diet or workout plan after failing..again 🤦♀️Then came the highs and lows of an abusive relationship 🤦♀️ Some antidepressants made their way in there too I blamed my anxiety for SO FUCKING LONG. It was my scapegoat for all of the bad habits I had created myself because I didn't want to look in the mirror and take accountability for my own shit. So rather than looking for your new way out. Look in the mirror Give her grace because she deserves some, but, do not let her make excuses to sabotage your desired future self. When you stop looking for external things to make you happy, you look in the mirror and are proud of who you see, rather than trying to escape.

You’ve probably heard: “Just listen to your body.” But here’s the thing—we’re not there yet. If you’ve been stuck in restriction, overtraining, or ignoring hunger for years, your body’s signals...
I had this all wrong for years, Reader...I don't want you to make the same mistake. The mistake I made was thinking that self-love was any different than the way I loved my family or my partner. That TRUE unconditional love I thought I could feel for others but not myself I believed that I could love my partner wholeheartedly, but then look at myself in the mirror and call myself a fat pig... There is a lot of "fake" self-love out there in the world where people claim to love themselves but...
High protein is hyped up for a good reason!! Gone are the days when we eat like our almond moms choking down cabbage soup and crackers only to be hungry again 5 minutes later. Then binge on all the things you restricted all day because you couldn't find any satiety in your meals. Now that I am a nutrition coach, I know something or two about what our body needs to thrive and feel good. Some of these diets I tell ya are ridiculous! Remember those 100-calorie special k packs, Reader? We thought...
