⁣⠀
I just have to say: YOU DON’T HAVE TO DO A BIKINI COMPETITION TO FEEL CONFIDENT IN YOUR OWN BODY!🙅🏻‍♀️ ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Is it thrilling to push past your limits and achieve something only 5% of the population can?🤔 ⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Sure, it’s cool to see how well you push yourself…⁣⠀
⁣⠀
But wanna know what’s not cool?⁣⠀
>Freezing even when it is 90 degrees outside🙅🏻‍♀️⁣⠀
>Losing your period and having zero sex drive🙅🏻‍♀️⁣⠀
>Feeling tired, exhausted and losing physical strength🙅🏻‍♀️ ⁣⠀
>Constantly thinking about all the food you ‘can’t have’⁣🙅🏻‍♀️⁣⠀
>Damaging relationships with the ones you love because you’re only focused on how you look🙅🏻‍♀️ ⁣⠀
>Finally getting there only to realize you can’t maintain it and now you have to GAIN weight back🙅🏻‍♀️ ⁣⠀

On the left, I won the overall at my first bikini competition but I felt like shit because of all of the above^^⁣ and it was hard AF.⁣😩⠀
⁣⠀
At the time, I thought leaner meant I’d happier and that I’d feel better about myself but yet all I was doing was chasing a look and completely ignoring my feelings. 😔⁣⠀
⁣⠀
On the right, 4.5 years later, 12lbs heavier yet I feel strong, feminine, and HEALTHY and it all feels EASY ⁣💁🏻‍♀️⁣⠀
⁣⠀
Looks will always be important to me but once I started to focus on my FEELINGS just as much as aesthetics, that’s when I found the happiness I was looking for!⁣😁⠀
