I spent MONTHS in denial.😆

Surely, I had done everything “right”?
I had meticulously followed all the “health” advice out there👇🏻

Do not eat unless you are SUPER hungry
Never skip leg day!
Is it hunger? It may be thirst!
Eat your five a day!
Avoid refined sugar at all costs
No gluten or dairy if you have an autoimmune condition
Team no excuses
Lose fat, get toned

Following all the “health” advice out there only sent me down a rabbit hole of restriction, body hate, shame, guilt, bingeing & stressing over every food label, workout, stretch mark.

I was the “picture” of health as Instagram told me it looks like💪 But inside was another story: I was not sleeping, anxious, irritable, struggling with my most precious relationships and … infertile & prediabetic.

Today, I have received the best blood work I ever had since developing my auto-immune conditions. I am not starving myself. Not bingeing. Speaking to myself kindly. Regulating my emotions the best I can. I may not “look” super toned or have visible abs anymore. But I finally feel at home in my body.

Denial is a normal phase of recovery. Come here and ask for proof if you need some. Keep listening, reading, learning. You are on your own path. You are welcome here❤️

Great Christmas gift idea for young families! 🎅🏻🎄

A book subscription service that is extremely mindful of diversity & inclusion, available in the UAE, for kids up to 9yo. @akindemy

PS: although I was gifted the books in this reel, I was not paid to post about this service, I just feel like it would be something I would have bought were my kids still in the 0-9 age range #notanad #supportsmallbusiness
