Being able to shift my thought process from ‘when’ to ‘what/how’ really helped all those small details add up. Regarding food, I’m even more convinced that the good feelings I have for the food I eat no matter if it’s a donut or steamed broccoli—both mmmm!—are really important for success. I thought I didn’t have time for this sort of training, but with a little focus and planning so much was accomplished.

I had actually finally accepted my body at its current size and realized that my mental health and body image  was way more important than the number on the scale. For the first time in as long as I can remember I was actually fueling my body properly!  And more importantly, doing it because I WANTED to.
