You wake up and the first thought is about your body. 🖤
I used to stand in front of the mirror and pick myself apart before the day had even started.
My heart would sink. And that feeling, it didn’t stay in the bedroom. It followed me everywhere.
I’d be in a conversation and not really there. I’d be in a room full of people and completely alone, not because anything was wrong around me, but because I was so deep in my own mind I couldn’t find my way back.
Comparing myself to every woman I saw. Feeling sick. Wanting to cry. Not feeling comfortable in my own clothes. Holding back in conversations. Talking myself out of things before I’d even tried.
Suddenly I wasn’t in the room anymore. I was in my head.
And I stayed there for a long time.
What I didn’t know then, what nobody told me, was that this wasn’t a personal failing. It wasn’t weakness. It wasn’t vanity.
It was the result of years of being taught that my body was a problem to fix. That if I could just get it right, I’d finally feel worthy. Accepted. Enough.
Diet culture is designed to keep us preoccupied. A woman consumed by doubt about her body is a woman who isn’t fully showing up in her life. And that suits a system that benefits when we stay small.
I didn’t find my way out overnight. But I did find it.
And on the other side?
I got my sparkle back.💫
I started feeling comfortable and confident in my clothes.
I stopped rehearsing how I looked before I spoke. (I mean look at some of my videos on here!)
I walked into rooms and stayed in them, because I deserved to be there.
I found my voice. And I refused to make it small again.
If any part of my story sounds like yours, if you know what it feels like to be in a room but not really there, I want you to know that it doesn’t have to stay that way.
I see you.
This is exactly why I do what I do. Helping women break free from diet culture, find real food freedom, and come back to themselves.
