It’s not about being thin. It’s not about the before and after photos. It’s not about the muscle definition, the mile time, or the amount of weight lifted.

It’s about finding balance. It’s about loving yourself. It’s about evolving into the healthiest version of you.

For me, it’s been a long journey, and it’s not even close to being over. I started out overweight and riddled with pain from fibromyalgia. I was inactive, and my diet consisted of mostly processed foods. But most importantly, I despised myself. Physically, mentally and spiritually, I was at my lowest.

When I started trying to get active, the first type of exercise I tried was yoga. It was a low-impact way to stretch my muscles and show my body some love.

But then, my exercise grew more intense. And as it did, the amount I was eating continued to decrease. I found myself growing weaker and weaker, until I was only a shell of the person I had been.

There has to be a balance. You have to feed yourself, physically, mentally and spiritually, to be healthy. That means eating the things that make your body happy and that also bring you joy. It means moving in ways that show your body the love it deserves. It means filling your soul and mind with inspiring, positive messages that fill you in ways that food cannot.

It’s not easy. It’s something we all constantly have to work on. But perhaps I can help you get started.
