What I say to myself when Iโm having a bad body image day๐๐ป
โ
If Iโm having a particularly bloated day,
rather than falling victim to the:
โI need to lose some weightโ
thought-trap,
I try to combat my emotions๐๐ปโโ๏ธ
with science๐งฌ
โ
I didnโt actually gain 3 pounds of fat overnight.
โ
Instead,
๐งI am likely retaining water from:
๐งhigh sodium intake,
๐งinflammation,
๐งpoor digestion,
๐งstress,
๐งor more carbs than my body needed...
โ
....but I donโt need to cut my calories or do 2 hours of cardio to make up for it (been there before, can confirm: does not play out well)
โ
I just need to make better food, hydration, and movement choices, because I know I feel ๐ค๐ผincredible๐ค๐ผ when I do.

Nothing resets your motivation like wanting to get back to feeling your best!!!
