Your body doesn’t have to look a certain way to prove what it can do. Yes someone can have a 6 pack and be healthy but someone can not have a 6 pack and also be healthy. Being lean isn’t the problem or isn’t something that should be demonised but believing you have to be lean to be healthy, fit or worthy is. I spent years thinking that getting leaner was the only way to show I was making progress. And yes I was disciplined but that discipline eventually came with losing my cycle, being incredibly restrictive with food and feeling like social plans had to fit around my meal plan.
Now I eat more, I fuel properly, I recover properly, I have food freedom and yes my body looks different because of it but honestly? I have more respect for my body now than I ever have.
Not because I think it looks “shredded”but because of what it allows me to do. For me, progress now is being able to fuel my body properly, train hard, recover, have a regular cycle, enjoy food and actually live my life alongside my goals. Gaining 9kg hasn’t meant I’ve gone backwards. I’ve just stopped measuring progress by how small I can make myself💛
