Well doesn’t that just make you feel like a sack of shit!!
Here I am sitting in my undies and latest LJ crop (you know that one that was purchased to help motivate me) watching Seinfield and eating Zooper Doopers, scrolling through social media - almost every second post is some hot as f*ck girl frolicking around in the summer with a killah rig, eating acai smoothies & fresh juices – no flab, cellulite or sweat insight and here I am sweating my balls off like a hot mess with hair so greasy you could probably cook chips in it.
Phrases that often go through my mind consist usually of
‘How?!?’
‘Why am I more interested in the rig of a female rather then a male?’
'Who are these people?!'
'Why am I not one of these people?!'
‘I should really go train’
‘Why am I even following you?’
‘Fuck off”
You do realise this is their ‘highlight reel’ yeah? Something you’ll tend to forgot is the amount of effort that went into that photo – something I need to remind myself often is that it’s okay not to be ‘on point’ 24/7 like these girls may seem to be and that eating icy poles in my underwear occasionally is totally okay!
I see so many girls following the above ‘fitspos’ putting pressure on themselves to achieve a certain body type and trying to achieve the ‘perfect’ lifestyle and trends.
It’s crazy.
There needs to be more honesty in the fitness industry that makes females aware that it is extremely healthy to have a passion for fitness & a few wines with your girlfriends on the weekend.
That six-packs are hard as hell to achieve but even harder to maintain.
That yes, you should have fitness related goals that you continually work hard towards and there will be days when you just can not be f*cked – everyone hands down experiences this – myself included. It doesn’t mean you ‘failed’.
That girl you follow on social media will NEVER always be ‘on point’ but you will always only see the best bits.
So I’m going to leave you with this….
If you can see the best bits of her – a stranger, someone you don’t know.
Why is it so hard to see the best bits of you?
Perhaps your focus needs to be slightly altered.
Stay Stronger & Stretch,
