I was only doing cardio & I was obsessed with being as skinny as I could be. I was starving myself & was really unhealthy & unhappy. I suffered depression & had terrible body image. 2nd pic: 2016 / 60kg I now weigh 13kg more, I lift heavy weights & do a little bit of HIIT. I dont do ANY long cardio sessions & I eat more than I’ve ever eaten in my life. I’m also happier, healthier, stronger & fitter than I have ever been. I no longer obsess over the way I look. I eat & train to feel my best, for overall “health” & longevity. I LOVE having muscle & I feel more confident than ever. When I first started lifting weights 7 years ago, I was finally starting to become healthy & happy for the first time in my life. I had friends at the time telling me I wasn’t healthy & was taking it “too far”. – This devastated me & had me in tears! I couldn’t believe that the people who were supposed to love me weren’t happy for me even though I was obviously much happier & healthier than I’d ever been. Luckily I decided not to listen to their put downs and kept going with my new healthy lifestyle & here I am today the best I’ve ever been, and I no longer have those “so called” friends. I now surround myself with positive, supportive people who are true friends to me! I love my life & I’m so grateful I decided to make those changes several years ago & committed to my healthy lifestyle. Now I’m able to help others become their best too! My F.I.T. Programs that I created are all based around strength training & HIIT – it’s what’s given me & thousands of other ladies amazing, healthy, lasting results.Exercise & eat nutritious food because you LOVE yourself & know that you deserve to be your best. Try not to focus on being “skinny” & just focus on your overall health – mental & physical. Don’t listen to anyone who tries to bring you down. Surround yourself with positive, supportive, like-minded people & always do what makes you happy regardless of what anyone else thinks!
