Thinkfitters, you often see me working out, hitting milestones, smiling in front of the camera, and showing up strong. But today, I want to be completely real - with you and with myself.
This photo was taken while I was getting ready for a party, not long after my shoulder surgery. Exercise had become almost non-existent, I was missing my babies, and I was missing ThinkFit more than I can explain.
When I looked at myself in the mirror that night, it honestly stopped me in my tracks. It knocked me for a six.
I want you to know that I, too, struggle with bloating, body changes and what many women call the ‘menopause middle spread.’ I want you to know that I cried. I didn’t want to go to the party. I didn’t feel confident, strong or like the version of myself I was used to seeing.
While I try to inspire others and be a positive influence, behind the scenes I still have moments of overwhelm, self-doubt and meltdowns too. That’s the ebb and flow of life. That’s reality.
This photo reminds me that I’m not a superhero. I’m not 35 anymore and my body needs a different kind of care, nourishment, support and understanding than it did in the past.
But I also know this; I am not willing to sit back and let these changes define me.
I am still fighting for my strength, my health, my confidence, my energy and the best version of myself - not from a place of punishment, but from a place of self-respect and self-care.
And if I can help other women feel less alone along the way, then every hard moment has purpose.
Knowledge is power. But taking action with that knowledge? That’s where real transformation begins.
