YOU’RE NOT FAT, YOU’RE STRESSED….There’s a difference!
My stress has been high and my body reflects it.
- Feeling puffier
- Weights up by 3 Ibs
- Holding water
- Stress eating and shaky with consistency
Plus I haven’t trained or done any form of intentional exercise in 4 days….
This is just a reminder to:
1.) manage stress
2.) if the scale fluctuates during stressful times that are TEMPORARY, it’s not the end of the world, it’s fluid, you’re not fat, just puffy from the stress.
3.) it’s okay to just do the best YOU CAN DO at that given moment with your current your situation.
No need to apply unnecessary pressure or stress on yourself, regardless of what “grind culture” says.
There’s a time and place for the grind, and trust me, I love me a good gritty grind, but sometimes we have to give ourselves some grace, especially if things are out of our control.
LAWD knows that I HAVE NOT been as consistent as I like to be this past week & and a half, I did stress over it, but I’m doing my best to let it roll & go because it’s not my forever, just temporary, and I’m trying my HARDEST to not be hard on myself & tear myself to pieces.
We’re all humans, even I struggle with this bc I’m not perfect.
This is the same thing I preach to my clients bc I practice/deal with the exact same things.
Whatever you’re going through that is temporarily causing stress, remember you’re not going to 💩 physically, this will pass, and please, I beg you…
DO NOT GET DOWN ON YOURSELF & THINK YOU’RE LESS THAN because you’re going through things.
You’re still enough, even if you feel your worst.
Much love to you ladies, & don’t make things harder on yourself by thinking the worst of yourself and beating yourself down during times like this.
Focus on what you CAN control, if you can’t control it, LET IT GO. Things will always get better.
This is my truth & I hope it helps someone out there❤️
