A little bit on the why I post these reminders and my own story.

I used to hate my body. Thoroughly. Even though on the outside it was very socially acceptable and praised, the smallest and lighters and later even the strongest it has been, my inner world was so incredibly dark and filled with crippling insecurities.

What started as an innocent weight loss journey, ended with an outer success and an inner horror. My confidence relied solely on external factors, the praise I got from others, what clothes fit me, how much i lifted, and so on. Not only I was obsessed with how my body looked, but also eating “healthy” which developed into fearing a lot of normal foods.

I’m 5 years into the journey of finding myself again and I can say that I truly have the last couple of years. I finally know what confidence is supposed to look like - in its purest, unconditional form. Detached from anything external, inherent and ever growing. I don’t need my body to be a certain way, lift a certain amount, eat a certain way - to feel worthy. I finally am ME - and this is the person you all experience today.

So when I share these reminders, about insecurities and lacks of confidence - it’s not because I am needing validation or for you to tell me that I don’t have anything to be insecure about.

I share because I learned SO much through my own journey and this is what I do now - use my voice to empower others to step into their own unconditional confidence. 🫶🏼 and I love that I can use this platform to do this - not just post spicy content without any merit.

I appreciate you all so much and I wanted to let you in on this part of my story - since I’ve shared glimpses of it.

So, if you’re currently in the midst of insecurities and doubts and fears - I see you and you can get through it. It is possible to not be overtaken by them. You got this. 💕
