Not Alone.

Lately I’ve been seeing a lot of reels on Instagram with women my age that are sharing some of the same struggles that I deal with. For example, one lady listed out how she felt everyday for a week; one day she was fat, another day she realized she wasn’t fat, then back to fat again. Why do we do this? Another reel was about out we workout and eat healthy just to be slightly overweight. I know the more I watch these, the more they come up on my feed but I have to admit that it’s nice knowing I’m not alone. My favorites are when the really “fit” girls post other angles of their bodies just to show that they don’t always look 100% perfect, that takes some balls.

There’s one trainer that gained some weight and she admitted that she didn’t want to post her Hyrox photos because of the way her body looked, some photos amplified the cellulite, but she posted them anyways and went on about how proud she was of what her body could do. That’s where we need to be. I’m the worst. I know I’m fit and sometimes I feel really good, other times I’ll stand in front of my mirror and just stare at my cellulite. The light shines juuusst right, right in all the WRONG spots.

I will admit this, sometimes I do feel like some of these women are posting things like this for some attention. They look amazing and are saying bad stuff about themselves, like, really?

While I’m on a roll.. I hate seeing the “this is what I eat in a day” post from a 20 something year old. OMG. Does this drive anyone else crazy? Please tell me I’m not alone.
