3 lessons I learnt about hitting "goal weight"
3 lessons I learnt about hitting "goal weight"
My goal was to get into these size 6 jeans.
The irony was that once I got there, I didn't care about the jeans anymore...
1) Weight loss will not fix your body image issues.
You don't just magically love everything about yourself when you hit your goal weight - I still thought very similarly of my body when I was a size 16 as I did as a size 8. Always noticing perceived negatives.
Your internal negative sabotages will ALL still be present - some may become magnified through this journey. You have to question everything about yourself, and dig deep to to see WHY you have been sabotaging yourself, and not allowing yourself to lovingly respect your body until now.
2) Hitting your goal will not automatically give you confidence.
Confidence comes from within. If you are wanting to reach body goals to get confidence - a more aligned way to approach this is to gain confidence FIRST through self inner healing & internal love for yourself. You will then find yourself making huge lifestyle changes, that magically allow you to effortlessly reach your goal.
3) The process can be confusing & scary!
I had never been slim so i didn't know what clothes suited me. I had to go shopping and change my look and I hated it. People commented and I HATED it. Attention is so triggering for me. Like I cannot deal with it and I know I have made myself bigger in the past to hugely avoid attention.
I did not know that I would have saggy skin or my cup size would go down 3 cups! 😮😮 I thought getting to my goal weight mean that I would somehow just become 'perfect'
Getting to goal weight is cool and all - but the improvements in sleep, mental health, strength, posture, breathing, stress levels, thought patterns far and surpass what i look like.
What I look like is the least interesting thing about me!
✨A change of focus is needed.✨
When your goals become the two following questions:
A) How can I get healthy?
B) How can I heal?
MASSIVE changes are about to happen ❣
♥️How can I get healthy mind, body & soul? How can I heal my mind, body & soul?♥️ The rest just all falls into place!
