Today I want to share something a little more personal... This is the story of my journey with food, nutrition, training, exercise and body image.
It hasn’t been an easy road and I definitely was not easy on myself - pretty brutal in fact! But I have learnt so much in the process, I have evolved, I have grown and I am so grateful for the the experience as it has got me to the amazing place I am in today.
In this episode I cover
- Dealing with body image in high school
- Damaging comments from teachers and doctors and the impact this had on my mental health
- Learning skills and tools to stay disciplined even when I wasn’t always motivated
- Learning how to make decisions on food and what to eat and cook
- The impact binge eating and yo yo diets had on my relationship with food and how this now serves me
- Why I turned to fad diets
- The importance of loving your body at every stage and how to do so!
- Learning the fundamentals of nutrition - calories in and calories out
- Choosing a sport to become a champion
- Why I choose bodybuilding
