𝗬𝗼𝘂 𝘄𝗶𝗹𝗹 𝗻𝗼𝘁 𝗮𝗹𝘄𝗮𝘆𝘀 𝗯𝗲 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗹𝗲𝗮𝗻𝗲𝘀𝘁 𝘃𝗲𝗿𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 𝗼𝗳 𝘆𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘀𝗲𝗹𝗳….⁣

AND THAT’S OKAY!!⁣

I know most of you follow me for fat loss/body transformation advice.⁣

And I love that you trust me for that information and I will continue to share to help you on your own journey.⁣

But it’s also okay to accept your body, no matter what stage it’s in.⁣

In the picture in 2015, I had lost 15 lbs already and was so excited.⁣

In 2018, that was the leanest I got since starting my journey in 2015.⁣

And now, it’s 2021 and I’m going through another stage of life: pregnancy.⁣

Getting to that level of leanness in 2018 required A LOT of sacrifice.⁣

Yes, I felt good and it was so amazing seeing what my body could achieve.⁣

But I can’t say it’s a level of leanness I want to maintain always.⁣

I’d rather have that extra 5-10 lbs on my body and be able to enjoy flexibility and life a little more.⁣

That includes date nights with my fiancé, going out to eat with family, getting ice cream with friends..⁣

Am I saying I will never get that lean again? No!⁣

What I’m saying is it’s okay to go through different phases, chapters, and seasons of life.⁣

It’s okay to be leaner at some points than others.⁣

It’s okay to have a goal in mind you’re willing to put in all the work for.⁣

It’s also okay to want to back off and enjoy life a bit.⁣

And it’s okay if you’re body is changing for reasons out of your control (I.e. pregnancy)⁣

It took me A LONG TIME to realize this.⁣

I thought the best version of me would be the smallest version of me.⁣

But over the years, the best version of me is the version of me that is confident, healthy, balanced, and happy.⁣

And that doesn’t require a certain body fat %.⁣

It’s realizing what’s really important in my life at different seasons.⁣

This season I’m in is not requiring a lean version of myself.⁣

And I’m still incredibly happy.⁣

Happiness doesn’t come from losing a ton of weight.⁣

You find it along the way in many other things.⁣

You can be happy NOW. Not 5, 10, 20, 50 lbs from now.⁣

𝘠𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘪𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧 ≠ 𝘺𝘰𝘶𝘳 𝘭𝘦𝘢𝘯𝘦𝘴𝘵 𝘴𝘦𝘭𝘧.⁣

I’m living proof.♥️
