I HAVE INSECURITIES LIKE MANY OF YOU!
I did something today… I wore my workout shorts for the first time ever where anybody other than my own family was present. I was TERRIFIED! 😬
If you have been following me, you probably see my posts and are thinking, why on earth would I feel so nervous to rock my shorts? Well, like many of you, I have my own insecurities that I try very hard to work on, but it’s not always easy. My body has been through a lot in the 42 years I’ve been alive… played sports my whole life, college softball & the training that comes with it, birthing 2 children… I’ve been skinny, fit & strong , overweight & unhealthy, back to healthy and fit again.
I went through manny years in part of my life where I literally hated my body. I hated everything I wore, I hated the person I saw in the mirror. I was extremely critical of myself. This was the time when we started a family, and I literally lost myself. Although I’m healthy, happy and have leaned out, those insecurities from my past creep in. And I still criticize myself, when I know I shouldn’t. My husband has been so loving and supportive of me the entire time (even at my worst) . He’s the best! 🥰 I’m always asking him every time I put on my shorts how I look in them. He probably thinks I’m crazy. lol 😂 His answer is always the same … “beautiful! You look great!”. 🥰
So today, in my best effort to overcome a fear, I wore my shorts! Yay me! 🙌 I was extremely nervous! Constantly wondering if people were staring and judging me; which I’m sure they weren’t. I focused on my workout and tried to keep those doubts out of my head.
Today was a HUGE step for me in my journey! Because the journey is not just about outer change, it’s also about inner change. 💯 I still have work to do on loving myself more, but I’m getting there! And for that, I celebrate the step I took today! 🎉
I’m sharing this because I want you to know that I’m human, just like you. I get insecure. I understand what you may be feeling sometimes. And we all are on this journey together! 👊
